AS  THIRTY-EIGHT  ENDS 

'The  time  has  corned  the  Walrus  said, 
'  To  talk  of  many  things: 
Of  shoes — and  ships — and  sealing-wax — 

"\T7ITH  one  tour  of  duty  drawing  to  a  close,  and  vistas 
*  *  arising  of  many  to  come,  'tis  time  to. pause  and  reflect — 
on  incidents  both  painful  and  amusing,  on  hopes  and  ambitions, 
mistakes  and  conquests,  the  spirit  of  camaraderie  and  dreams 
come  true  in  the  last  four  years.  We  have  gone  through  many 
trying  experiences  together,  to  our  mutual  advantage;  but  we 
have  gleaned  many  happy  memories  which  we  shall  cherish 
always.  In  the  days  to  come  there  will  be  many  stories  revised 
and  retold  over  the  teacups,  in  the  blending  of  our  vintage  with 
the  lore  of  the  sea.  Nigh  upon  four  years  now  we  have  counted 
the  days — aye,  the  hours  and  minutes — to  Graduation.  And 
yet,  as  the  time  draws  near  and  the  curtain  is  about  to  fall  on 
our  novitiate — 

Our  memorabilia  looms  rich  with  the  treasures  of  Nineteen 
Hundred  and  Thirty-eight.  The  Naval  Academy  was  founded 
ninety-three  years  ago  with  a  definite  mission.  Above  all,  we 
have  at  last  gained  a  full  realization  of  that  mission.  Since  the 
founding  of  our  "Cradle  of  the  Navy,"  many  classes  have 
passed  the  portals  of  the  Academy.  With  the  toss  of  caps  in  the 
air  this  June,  we,  too,  shall  join  the  Cause  in  upholding  the 
traditions  of  our  predecessors.  May  those  traditions  be  honored 
and  fulfilled ! 

The  Naval  Academy  has  given  us  a  new  start  in  life;  and 
Bancroft  Hall  has  been  a  new  home.  At  times  we  may  have 
felt  out  of  place;  but  what  pleasant  associations  have  surged 
when  after  a  summer  practice  cruise  we  first  sighted  the  chapel 
spire  glistening  in  the  sun,  or  looming  in  the  mist.  In  years  to 
come  how  pleasant  will  be  a  visit  to  the  Naval  Academy !  The 
walks  and  trees,  parks  and  monuments,  the  creek  and  river  and 
bay — what  glorious  memories  they  will  invoke !  And  the  build- 
ings of  the  Yard — what  mental  anguish,  and  again  friendship, 
they  have  housed  !  The  first  midshipmen  in  1845  lived  in  several 
detached  dwellings:  Apollo  Row,  Rowdy  Row,  Brandywine 
Cottage,  "Gas  House,"  and  the  Abbey.  We  of  today  have  all

-:,- 


ITS  FIRST  FOUR  YEARS 

Of  cabbages — and  kings — 
And  why  the  sea  is  boiling  hot — 
And  ivhether  -pigs  have  wings. ,' 

lived  in  one  great  dormitory,  Bancroft  Hall,  with  its  massive 
masonry  symbolizing  our  common  bonds.  If  in  the  distant 
future,  this  Lucky  Bag  can  in  some  measure  awaken  these 
memories  and  stimulate  these  dreams,  its  purpose  will  have 
been  fulfilled. 

For  four  years  we  have  lived  by  the  sea — and  now  we  shall 
go  down  to  the  sea.  Poets  have  called  the  sea  fickle,  disarming, 
seductive,  treacherous,  fierce,  and  again  calm,  placid,  friendly, 
and  beautiful;  but  to  us  the  sea  will  always  be  a  friend.  It  has 
its  troughs,  as  life  has  its  pitfalls;  and  as  the  waves  roll  on 
forever,  so  our  duty  never  ends,  and  our  loyalty  never  falters. 

We  shall  carry  with  us  to  the  sea  happy  memories  which  bind 
us  forever  to  the  Academy.  We  have  a  precious  cargo.  We  have 
a  guiding  star  and  an  anchor  to  windward,  a  haven  in  rough 
seas.  And  we  shall  take  with  us  many  friendships  which  will 
widen  throughout  the  fleet.  We  go  to  sea  with  our  "wives." 
Generous,  long-suffering  souls — for  four  years  now  our  room- 
mates have  been  the  butts  of  our  practical  jokes,  friends  in 
need,  offering  their  last  collar-button,  and  receiving  in  return 
rebuke  and  betrayal  on  hop  week-ends!  And  now  comes  "the 
most  unkindest  cut  of  all"  —we  have  written  the  biographies 
of  our  "wives,"  exposing  weaknesses  and  quirks  and  idio- 
syncrasies in  the  pages  that  follow.  We  have  painted  them  with 
the  shades  of  Mephistopheles,  with  a  deft  touch  of  the  brush 
adding  insult  to  injury,  salt  to  the  wound.  Underneath  the 
brusque  style  of  a  literary  tyro,  however,  there  flows  a  genuine 
affection,  and  an  appreciation  that  is  untarnished  by  the  pen 
and  voice.  We  have  come  through  together;  and  now  we  shall 
go  forward  together.  Thanks  to  the  "wives"  who  have  helped 
us  through  shortcomings,  which  borne  alone,  might  have  been 
calamitous,  but  which  shared  in  mutual  respect,  have  dissolved 
away. 

In  days  to  come,  may  our  voices  keep  tune  while  our  oars 
keep  time —

freek 


FOUR  years  of  Academy  life  with  Freeland  leads  us  to  claim  him  as  the 
perfect  wife.  Never  the  man  to  turn  down  one  in  need,  he  has  the 
record  for  taking  brick  blind-drags.  He  will  run  to  the  tailor  shop  for  suits 
or  help  with  a  Steam  prob.  The  women  follow  his  ready  ear-to-ear  smile, 
but  none  has  appreciably  turned  his  head.  The  very  long  and  tall  yarns 
that  he  can  spin  mark  him  for  his  imagination  and  humor,  while  serious- 
ness and  thought  crystallize  his  arguments.  Though  he  is  not  an  athletic 
star,  boxing  is  his  forte;  bull  sessions  and  befriending  strange  Plebes,  his 
hobbies.  Selling  is  his  passion,  whether  it  be  hosiery  or  ideas.  Never  satis- 
fied, Freeland  will  get  ahead  and  be  liked  wherever  the  Navy  sends  him.

"deke"  "mugs" 

DEKE'S  hardest  job  is  keeping  other  people  sat.  Many  besides  his 
wives  have  remained  in  the  Academy  because  of  his  willingness  to 
untangle  their  problems.  His  only  worry  is  fear  of  wasting  time,  and  it  is 
true  that  he  never  has  his  trou  on  when  formation  sounds,  but  he  has  never 
been  late.  Water  polo  is  his  sport,  though  soccer  and  tennis  can  also  claim 
him.  He  would  like  to  make  us  believe  that  he  is  a  Red  Mike,  but  his  daily 
correspondence  disproves  that.  A  rare  sense  of  values,  common  sense  and 
an  appreciation  of  his  fellow  men  combine  to  give  him  a  splendid  sense  of 
humor  and  make  him  a  gentleman  in  every  sense  of  the  word.

"swede" 

IF  your  radio  doesn't  work,  bring  it  around  to  Swede.  A  ham,  his 
heaven  is  lighted  with  radio  tubes,  and  spare  gear  litters  every  corner. 
Always  the  first  to  laugh  and  entertain  with  his  own  embarassing  situa- 
tions, he  has  created  eternal  and  stimulating  jokes,  songs,  and  complaints 
against  the  injustices  of  the  Academic  Departments.  He  remains  on  top 
in  spite  of  several  close  skirmishes  with  the  doubtful  side  of  1.5  in  Skinny 
and  Steam.  Plebe  year  saw  him  a  rabid  Red  Mike,  but  since  then  he 
hasn't  missed  a  hop,  stag  or  drag.  Athletics  can't  claim  him.  His  crowning 
achievement  was  passing  the  swimming  tests.  Spring  always  finds  him 
banging  away  with  the  most  expert  of  the  rifle  team.  Swede  will  always 
be  in  the  thick  of  it,  wherever  he  goes.

BRIGHT  blue  eyes  and  blonde  hair  betray  a  Viking  ancestry  and  an 
inherited  love  of  the  sea,  evidenced  by  his  whiling  away  spare  hours 
at  sailing  and  carving  model  ship  hulls.  Crew  is  his  favorite  sport.  He 
can  be  found  at  the  crew  shed  any  afternoon,  spring  or  fall,  where  his 
determination  has  overcome  the  handicap  of  short  height,  winning  him  a 
seat  in  the  first  shell.  The  outstanding  qualities  of  determination,  a  ten- 
acious conviction  in  his  own  opinions,  and  dependability  mark  him.  Only 
a  louder  voice  can  beat  him  in  an  argument.  His  greatest  trouble,  as  with 
us  all,  is  to  live  within  the  monthly  pittance.  His  imperious  stride  will 
carry  him  far.

MAC 


MAC'S  unperturbed  calm  made  his  four  years  ar  the  Academy  pass 
easily.  It  lets  him  devote  a  good  deal  of  time  to  personal  interests, 
the  mainstay  of  his  intense  character.  An  elusive  curiosity  gains  him  much 
pleasure  in  a  wide  field  of  activities.  Not  easy,  is  it,. to  guess  his  current 
state  of  mind,  but  he  is  ever  bent  on  that  broad  hobby,  his  pursuit  of  a 
liberal  education.  He  is  not  argumentative,  but  his  quiet  voice  brightens 
discussions  of  anything  from  the  "long  view"  to  the  girl  he  dragged  to 
the  last  hop.  A  true  sportsman,  he  is  every  bit  that  the  word  implies,  as 
he  plays  for  the  love  of  the  game.  His  competitive  mind  in  all  but  aca- 
demics makes  him  a  regular  fellow  and  a  keen  companion.

UNDER  that  shock  of  blonde  hair  and  peering  out  through  those  frank, 
blue  eyes  is  a  mind  alive  with  curiosity  and  understanding.  If  the 
lips  smile,  it  is  a  demonstration  of  his  unfailing  good  nature.  With  Puget 
Sound  fresh  in  his  memory,  Ralph  came  to  Annapolis  with  an  uncommon 
appreciation  of  the  sea  and  ships  as  his  salty  heritage.  Time  devoted  to 
satisfying  the  whims  of  his  curiosity  during  study  hours,  he  compensates 
with  his  uncanny  grasp  of  fundamentals  and  ability  to  apply  in  practice 
his  hastily  digested  textbook  information.  Spurning  academics  as  an 
outlet  for  his  competitive  spirit,  Ralph  enlisted  his  long  legs  in  the  cause 
of  Navy  track  and  cross  country;  they  have  served  faithfully  and  not  in 
vain.  Although  prone  to  air  small  grievances,  Ralph's  infectious,  quiet 
joy  of  living  has  made  him  many  friends.

RAYMOND  HENRY  GEORGE 

Wrentham,  Massachusetts 
"jorge"  "ray" 

RAY  was  destined  to  be  either  a  fisherman  or  a  Navy  man  by  virtue 
_  of  his  stomping  ground  in  Massachusetts.  His  choice  of  the  Navy 
assured  us  a  shipmate  tried  and  true.  Studies  are  the  least  of  his  worries. 
A  little  stir  of  the  gray  matter  could  bring  out  the  stars  on  his  collar; 
but  who  would  not  rather  rest,  think  of  the  next  day's  sailing,  his  favorite 
pastime,  or  last  but  not  least,  plan  the  next  week-end?  Ray  is  fond  of  the 
gentler  sex  and  never  misses  a  hop.  Romances  come  and  go  so  fast  it  is 
hard  to  keep  track  of  them.  Hardly  a  day  passes  that  there  isn't  a  scented 
letter  tucked  in  the  corner  of  his  blotter.  Ray  has  the  faculty  of  readily 
picking  up  things — in  books,  of  course.  But  friendships  and  books  take 
such  a  man  to  the  top  in  the  Navy.

MAC 


MAC  was  born  and  bred  by  the  Army.  Why  he  chose  to  join  us,  we 
have  not  asked,  but  his  infectious  good  nature  makes  us  glad  he 
did.  He  has  proved  himself  to  be  an  amiable  and  generous  classmate — 
witness  the  continual  and  rapid  disappearance  of  his  skags.  Mac  plays 
soccer  and  lacrosse  with  ability,  and  he  swims  a  bit.  Formerly  he  shone 
as  a  horseman  and  followed  the  hounds,  always  up  among  the  leaders. 
He  still  leads  at  Dahlgren,  but  in  the  academic  race  he  is  sometimes  back 
in  the  field.  He  has  always  managed  to  be  in  at  the  kill  though,  and  sines 
and  slipsticks  have  not  troubled  him  seriously.  We  feel  it  a  real  privilege 
to  have  him  for  a  shipmate.  Sandy  will  be  a  welcome  addition  to  the  fleet.

STEVE 


ROSY 


I  ONLY  sent  her  a  couple  of  Logs,  sir' ' — his  famous  first  words  of  Plebe 
year.  But  time  marches  on,  and  Steve  has  learned  many  lessons  in  love, 
as  well  as  a  dash  of  Nav,  a  drop  of  Steam,  and  a  jigger  of  Juice.  A  snake 
at  heart  and  a  Casanova  in  action,  Steve  has  set  a  stiff  pace  for  the  altar- 
crashers.  Inspired  by  a  working  knowledge  of  the  reg-book  and  a  host  of 
non-reg  ideas,  his  famous  Johnsonian  theories  would  put  Rube  Goldberg 
to  shame.  His  ability  to  throw  punches  and  passes  is  only  surpassed  by 
his  skill  in  throwing  the  bull.  Marked  with  a  wonderful  sense  of  humor, 
a  cheerful  smile,  and  a  pair  of  square  shoulders,  Steve  has  made  many

EUGENE  THOMAS  BRADLEY  SULLIVAN 

San  Diego,  California 
"rube"  "buzz" 

WE  called  him  Brad  the  first  two  years,  but  having  added  another 
cognomen  he's  Sully  to  us  now.  No  adversity  could  cause  his 
smile  to  falter  or  stop  his  determined,  persevering  and  yet  happy-go-lucky 
fight  towards  the  ultimate  goal.  Sully  throws  'em  hard  and  fast  in  the 
ring,  and  on  occasion  has  come  back  in  the  late  rounds  to  stop  the  Steam 
Department  with  a  smashing  one-two  punch.  His  natural  ability  to  make 
friends  during  his  sojourn  on  the  Severn  marks  him  as  a  real  and  true 
friend  to  have.  The  mail  detail  claims  Sully  receives  more  than  his  share 
of  perfumed  epistles  in  dainty  handwriting,  and  the  pictures  on  his  locker 
door  confirm  his  success  along  these  lines.  Worldy  wisdom  linked  with 
academic  knowledge  will  carry  Sully  a  long  way.

CECIL  VERNON  JOHNSON 

Richton,  Mississippi 
"johnny" 

THE  Johnsons  are  like  ducks — they  can  live  on  dry  land,  but  only 
necessity  will  make  them  do  such  a  foolish  thing.  Three  brothers 
have  preceded  Cecil  at  the  Naval  Academy,  and  he  assures  us  that  there 
are  still  more  coming  up.  Mae  West  would  probably  fall  for  Johnny — he 
could  easily  pass  for  the  original  "man  who  takes  his  time."  He  has  the 
true  rebel  knack  of  taking  things  easy,  which  is  no  mean  art  at  this,  our 
Naval  Academy.  No  one  could  possibly  call  him  a  cut-throat;  yet  he  has 
managed  to  keep  well  ahead  of  ye  academics  since  the  first  term  of  Plebe 
year.  His  even  temper  and  his  impassiveness  will  ensure  him  success 
throughout  his  naval  career.  Good  luck  to  you,  Cecil — may  we  often  be 
shipmates.

SISS 


BY  act  of  Providence  Bill  was  assigned  to  some  batt.  other  than  the 
third.  For  with  Billie  Sissons  close  to  Billie  Goat  (Navy  mascot), 
the  latter  would  soon  have  his  horns  talked  right  off  him.  Our  hero  was 
reared  in  and  around  Detroit.  He  could  not  understand  why  battleships 
were  not  propelled  and  steered  like  Fords — nor  why  people  voted  the 
Democratic  ticket.  But  the  Steam  Department  and  his  own  good  sense 
have  helped  to  clear  the  fog.  He  is  hard  to  divert  from  literature  long 
enough  to  bone  Steam  and  Juice,  and  it  is  in  the  Bull  and  Dago  depart- 
ments that  his  ability  flourishes  and  his  marks  soar.  Bill  has  taken  some 
hard  waves  over  the  bow,  but  his  buoyant  spirit,  optimism,  and  integrity 
have  always  brought  him  safely  through.  When  he  goes,  we  lose  a  swell 
pal.

JOHN  WENTWORTH  HOWE 

Chicago,  Illinois 
"red"  "como" 

EED  is  the  second  of  the  Chicago  Howes  to  answer  the  call  of  the 
l.  seas.  He  came  to  the  Academy  with  a  variety  of  experiences,  a 
variety  of  ideas,  and  a  gift  of  interesting  gab.  Plebe  year,  Red  kept  up 
with  academics  very  well,  but  later  strayed  from  the  path  of  higher  educa- 
tion. His  mechanically-minded  and  inventive  brain  could  not  concentrate 
on  any  subjects  except  Steam.  It  is  apparent  that  the  sea  does  not  beckon 
with  crooked  finger  now.  We  hope  that  after  a  few  years  with  the  fleet 
he  will  have  become  an  ardent  proselyte,  because  the  Navy  can  use  his 
critical  attitude  and  interest  in  revising  and  inventing.  Wherever  the  world 
has  the  pleasure  of  this  red  head's  society  his  best  friend  will  follow — his 
appetite.

JESSE  hails  from  New  Jersey,  refuses  to  say  why,  but  will  admit  he  en-

The  future  looks  better  for  him  while  contemplating  an  easy  chair,  a  tall 
brunette,  or  a  fast  car.  Chet  has  more  friends  than  any  one  man  rates,  and 
so  many  femmes  he  tries  to  scare  them  away — but  they  love  it !  When  not

managing  for  Wrestling.  Though  stars  have  never  been  his,  Jesse  never  lets 
the  Academics  disturb  him  too  much.  It  is  hardest,  he  thinks,  to  stay  "sat" 
in  the  Executive  Department.  We  can  all  envy  Chet  for  the  fun  he  is  sure  to 
have.  Happy  landings,  Chester!

DOC  is  a  versatile  young  man.  In  a  quiet  mood  he  is  all  reserve  and

If  interest  is  an  indication,  the  Corporal  will  be  a  great  aviator.  His  chief

Algy  misses  few  hops  or  social  events.  He  keeps  fit,  but  athletic  tendencies 
were  well  curbed  by  the  Dago  Department.  But  after  a  three  year  death 
struggle,  Doc  emerged  with  victory  and  a  sigh  of  relief.  His  remarkable

FEW  people  can  or  will  ever  mean  so  much  to  a  righting  organization 
as  the  kindly,  strong-willed  Grabba.  The  pace-setter  for  the  best 
among  us,  he  is  the  living  counterpart  of  Admiral  Hopwood's  famous 
lines,  "The  strength  of  the  ship  is  the  service  and  the  strength  of  the  serv- 
ice the  ship."  To  those  of  us  who  knew  him  in  the  "Old  Navy"  his 
shore  duty  on  this  coast  has  been  remarkable  for  Grabba's  heart  remained 
in  California  when  he  came  East.  Academics  come  easy  to  him;  he  is  a 
born  athlete,  an  excellent  gunner,  and  an  even  better  radio  man.  Whether 
it  be  soft  lights  or  hard  work,  it  makes  little  difference,  for  Grabba  has 
been  working  and  waiting  for  this  day.  All  hands  in  the  Fleet  await  the 
return  of  a  shipmate  whose  qualities  are  seldom  duplicated.

WILLIAM  PATRICK  RIESENBERG 

Bronxville,  New  York 
"bill"  "pat" 

BILL  is  a  sailor  born  and  bred.  At  the  tender  age  of  eight  he  went  to  sea 
in  a  windjammer  captained  by  his  sea-going  father.  Since  then  he  has 
always  been  in  contact  with  the  sea  and  knows  its  ways.  After  a  couple  of 
years  spent  in  Uncle  Sam's  Navy,  he  came  to  the  Academy  to  learn  more 
about  his  chosen  profession  before  returning  to  the  life  on  the  bounding 
wave.  Gunnery  is  his  forte,  and  those  intricate  details  of  the  big  guns  are 
an  open  book  to  him.  There  is  something  about  watching  the  land  fade 
away  over  the  horizon  which  land-lubbers  never  know  and  which  is  dear 
to  the  hearts  of  sailor-men.  Bill  knows  this  feeling  well.  Ever  ready  with 
a  new  sea  story,  ever  willing  to  lend  a  hand,  he  is  waiting  impatiently  for 
the  time  when  he  will  return  to  deep  water.

Massillon,  Ohio 


FROM  a  small  town  in  Ohio  came  this  lad  with  a  great  knowledge  of 
history  and  a  suitcase  full  of  writing  materials.  The  latter  were  used 
to  write  to  a  bevy  of  the  fair  in  his  home  province;  the  former  he  will 
discuss  at  any  time  and  place,  with  gusto.  His  hobby  is  also  history,  but 
of  a  different  sort.  He  has  sufficient  knowledge  of  the  sports  world,  past 
and  present,  to  compete  with  many  commentators  who  put  out  the  dope 
for  the  future.  An  enthusiastic  exponent  of  football,  he  won  his  numerals 
in  spite  of  a  late  start.  His  happiest  moments  are  spent  in  winning  an 
argument,  be  the  subject  politics  or  pole  vaulting.  With  his  steadfast 
philosophy  about  life  and  the  Navy,  Gordy  will  always  gain  the  best  they 
have  to  offer.

ATYPICAL  example  of  the  soft-spoken,  quick-thinking  men  from  the 
.  Western  plains  is  this  quiet  Oklahoma  boy.  He  never  has  a  great 
deal  to  say,  but  what  he  does  utter  is  usually  dope  of  the  best  sort.  This 
comes  from  a  keen  analytical  mind  which  thinks  before  it  speaks.  His 
hobbies  are  reading  and  going  to  movies,  of  which  he  is  an  excellent  critic. 
Most  of  his  spare  time  is  spent  in  reading  current  literature.  Never  caring 
much  for  the  weaker  sex,  Nick  hasn't  spent  much  of  his  time  with  them. 
In  his  encounters  with  the  Academic  Department,  Nick  has  always  emerged 
victorious.  He  has  taken  each  subject  in  stride  and  managed  to  avoid  any 
acquaintance  with  the  venerable  Tecumseh.  With  his  keen  judgment  of 
human  nature,  Nick  will  go  far  along  the  road  toward  a  successful  career.

erous and  varied,  but  his  heart  remains  intact.  In  spite  of  his  roommates 
he  has  preserved  his  sanity,  and  often  that  of  his  roommates,  by  making 
long  term  loans  with  no  security,  all  with  the  aplomb  of  Congress  making 
a  million  dollar  appropriation.  He  often  renders  songs,  but  his  homicidal 
tendency  stops  there.  We  hope  to  see  him  often  around  the  same  wardroom 
table  with  us.

studied  hard  when  his  roommates  did  not  run  too  much  interference,  and 
has  never  run  afoul  the  academic  board.  His  familiar  rotund  figure  has 
not  often  endangered  our  dance  floor  because  dragging  has  always  been

as  he  practices  it.  He  gained  his  youthful  knowledge  of  seamanship  navi-

WE  give  you  a  fellow  who  raises  his  head  from  the  ranks  of  the 
"unsats"  at  the  end  of  each  term  only  to  chin  himself  on  the  "sat" 
line  and  take  a  new  grip  on  his  naval  career.  Coming  from  the  high 
altitudes  of  the  Colorado  mountains,  he  naturally  looks  forward  to  float- 
ing through  the  thin  air  again,  not  as  a  yodeling  mountaineer,  but  as  a 
Navy  aviator.  Lacking  praise  from  others,  he  turns  to  the  mirror  to  give 
himself  a  heart  to  heart  talk,  which  too  frequently  strays  from  the  original 
track  and  brings  forth  a  tirade  greatly  lacking  in  self-abnegation.  Here 
you  have  the  original  expounder  of  studying  by  mental  telepathy  from  a

HERE  is  a  person  to  whom  the  mark  is  the  man.  Seriousness  in  all 
things  which  may  contribute  to  his  future  success  is  the  keynote  of 
his  Naval  Academy  career.  His  short,  stocky  build,  blonde  hair,  and  his 
streamlined  "second  class  summer"  haircut  are  his  greatest  attributes. 
With  his  uncanny  facility  for  making  acquaintances,  many  beautiful  drags 
have  been  his  fortune.  The  mistakes,  of  course,  have  been  crossed  off  the 
record.  Fencing  is  his  hobby.  His  greatest  virtue  is  his  unwearying  in- 
sistence. There  are  certain  lieutenants  who  will  never  forget  the  lengths 
to  which  he  went  in  order  to  learn  the  results  of  a  Boat  Club  examination. 
Hedgecock  is  a  man  who  intends  never  to  make  a  wrong  move.  Like

FROM  Philadelphia  and  Pittsburgh,  sir' '  came  Worthy  with  unbounded

Two  major  interests,  gymnastics  and  class  standing,  have  received  his 
best  efforts  for  four  years,  and  the  results  in  both  have  proved  satisfactory. 
In  spite  of  the  large  picture  gallery  and  correspondence  which  he  maintains, 
he's  still  in  love  with  the  same  lass  as  in  1934 — quite  an  unusual  thing. 
He  always  wanted  to  spend  one  of  his  week-ends  on  the  "Reina,"  but 
thought  too  much  of  his  record  to  "let  himself  go."  During  the  last  four 
years  aviation  has  won  him  for  its  own.  We  believe  you  will  hear  his

making  of  a  successful  naval  officer.  Infinite  patience,  and  a  sense  of  humor 
that  never  lets  him  down  are  his  claims.  Although  no  snake,  he  does  not 
try  to  avoid  social  contacts  and  is  one  of  those  rare  persons  who  is  at 
home  in  any  situation.  Bob  holds  the  Academy  record  of  having  bilged 
out  more  roommates  than  any  other  midshipman.  The  boys  just  wouldn't 
believe  his  philosophy  that  academics  are  one  of  the  necessary  evils  of  all 
higher  learning.  But  we  who  have  survived  give  honor  to  whom  honor 
is  due — a  regular  fellow.  Four  years  a  roommate;  four  years  a  pal.

WILLIAM  PERCIVAL  SPENCER

BILL  is  of  the  assured  type  who  take  things  as  they  come  and  worry 
about  nothing.  Although  his  apparent  apathy  towards  studies  pre- 
vented his  starring,  it  did  not  keep  him  from  leaving  a  good  academic 
record.  Possibly  this  was  due  to  his  habit  during  exam  week  of  arising 
from  his  customary  state  of  placidity  and  entering  one  of  fervent  activity. 
I  shall  always  remember  him  bursting  feverishly  into  the  room  with  "hot 
dope"  on  the  exam.  His  North  Carolina  ancestry  is  probably  most  mani- 
fest during  a  discussion,  and  he  always  welcomes  a  chance  to  argue,  par- 
ticularly if  the  argument  is  a  heated  one.  If  his  arguments  get  him  into 
trouble,  his  congeniality  and  sense  of  humor  get  him  out,  so  he  never 
loses  friends  and  never  has  trouble  acquiring  more.

A  LOVE  for  flying,  a  fascination  for  photography,  and  an  irrepressible 
.  mania  for  slot  machines  are  but  a  few  of  the  many  varied  interests 
of  this  son  of  the  northlands.  Contrary  to  the  habits  of  his  illustrious 
namesake,  Nick  is  no  cutthroat  except  when  in  the  presence  of  the  fairer 
sex.  Among  his  accomplishments  are  the  ability  to  find  bargains  on  Mary- 
land Avenue,  to  play  well  on  the  piano,  and  to  throw  burnt  matches  into 
waste-paper  baskets  from  great  distances.  He  is  the  only  man  in  the 
Academy  to  have  three  pairs  of  spectacles.  His  pet  aversion  is  his  room- 
mate's trumpet-playing,  his  favorite  pastime  is  taking  movies,  and  his 
greatest  ambition  is  to  continue  his  flying  career  in  Uncle  Sam's  Navy. 
Happy  landings,  Bob — see  you  at  Pensacola.

WEST  ADAMS  PAYNE 
Lynchburg,  Virginia 


FROM  a  long  line  of  military  men  this  native  son  of  old  Virginia 
brought  with  him  a  fierce  loyalty  to  anything  of  which  he  approves 
and  an  extreme  frankness.  His  philosophy  is  "live  and  let  live,"  if  any- 
one's ever  was.  He  has  won  his  friends,  not  because  of  his  many  good 
points,  but  because,  in  spite  of  his  weaknesses,  people  just  can't  help 
liking  him.  Early  in  Plebe  year  his  southern  accent,  singing,  and  guitar 
playing  acquired  for  him  the  name  "Mammy."  He  likes  to  drag  and 
prefers  blondes  from  the  sunny  South.  He  has  learned  the  meaning  of  the 
word  "bone"  and  has  always  managed  to  pull  through  in  spite  of  Steam 
and  Skinny.  Because  he  would  never  be  happy  anywhere  except  in  the 
line — good  luck,  Ducky!

BECKY 


T=t 


FROM  the  slopes  of  bleak  New  England,  where  seafaring  men  are  born, 
not  made,  Paul  came  to  the  Naval  Academy  with  a  slipstick  in  one 
hand,  a  coordinator  in  the  other,  and  a  love  of  the  water  in  his  soul. 
Academics  offered  few  difficulties  except  for  an  occasional  tussle  in  which 
he  successfully  "threw  the  bull."  Swimming  became  his  favorite  recrea- 
tion, and  his  powerful  breast  stroke  puts  him  well  in  the  running  in  any 
race.  A  snake  of  no  mean  capacity,  he  finds  romance  well  adapted  to  his 
line.  Soon,  however,  Paul  found  that  his  six  feet  three  was  more  at  home 
in  the  water  than  on  that  element,  and  he  turned  his  steps  toward  the 
Marines.  With  his  efficient  methods  and  disciplinarian  leanings  Paul  will 
be  a  valuable  addition  to  the  Leathernecks.

LUKE 


AFTER  trying  for  four  years  to  catch  up,  Luke  is  still  behind  in  his 
ii  sleep.  Even  sleeping  through  supper  formation  seems  to  do  no  good. 
In  spite  of  this,  his  eager,  active  personality  has  earned  him  many  friends 
and  the  nickname,  "Smiling  Luke."  A  thorough  knowledge  of  the  Civil 
War  has  won  him  many  an  argument  over  the  Yankees,  but  his  real 
oratory  is  reserved  for  the  unfortunate  who  speaks  an  unkind  word  about 
Arkansas.  Luke  is  an  excellent  bridge  player,  and  his  fiendish  desire  for  a 
greater  knowledge  usually  caused  him  to  grab  the  paper  from  the  assistant 
and  search  for  Ely  Culbertson's  column.  A  regular  appearance  at  the  hops 
proves  that  he  has  an  eye  for  the  ladies.  His  willingness  to  help  and 
entertain  has  won  our  respect  and  admiration.

COGNAC 


THE  minute  Brink  entered  the  Academy  he  began  to  make  friends, 
and  he  is  still  going  strong,  without  having  lost  any  along  the  way. 
His  ready  grin  and  love  of  fun  have  made  him  popular  with  everyone.  His 
friendly  manner,  however,  covers  a  more  serious  side,  and  he  has  devoted 
enough  attention  to  academics  to  place  himself  high  in  the  class.  In 
athletics,  tennis  has  claimed  most  of  his  time,  and  by  his  work  he  has 
earned  a  block  N  and  a  varsity  berth.  Occasionally  he  takes  a  fling  at 
dragging,  but  he  generally  favors  the  stag  line  at  the  hops.  After  four 
years  here  with  him,  we  shall  always  remember  Brink  as  lighthearted  and 
gay,  but  dependable  when  the  going  is  rough.

bob 


BOB  was  lured  away  from  Indiana  by  stories  from  an  older  brother, 
but  he  enjoys  the  Navy  best  when  there  are  no  rolling  waves.  Aca- 
demically he  has  had  his  moments,  but  always  he  finishes  with  the  velvet 
necessary  to  make  life  pleasant.  Football  has  been  his  major  attraction 
in  athletics,  and  hard  work  has  made  him  one  of  the  best  of  players.  In 
studies  and  everyday  life,  as  well  as  in  athletics,  Bob  shows  a  characteristic 
determination  that  has  carried  him  through  many  strenuous  tasks  and 
will  carry  him  to  the  top  in  any  profession.  His  social  activities  have  not 
become  involved,  though  he  awaits  his  mail  with  keen  anticipation.  In 
his  quiet  and  unassuming  manner  Bob  makes  one  of  the  best  of  friends 
and  finest  of  roommates.

Prescott,  Arkansas 

"  willie" 

WILLIE  is  a  lawyer  at  heart.  He  walked  up  to  a  Congressman,  and 
before  the  legislator  knew  it,  he  had  been  talked  into  providing 
the  Navy  with  another  future  Admiral.  From  then  on,  taxes  were  lowered 
in  California  because  Willie  left  there  and  came  to  Maryland,  where  he 
was  met  by  a  blonde,  a  taxi  driver,  and  a  messenger  who  asked  him  his 
name  and  initials.  A  couple  of  cruises  have  made  him  one  of  the  most 
nautical  navigators  who  ever  missed  a  G.  C.  T.  Seriously,  Willie's  friend- 
ship is  greatly  valued.  His  likable  nature  has  won  friends  everywhere. 
He  has  more  energy  than  anyone  else  in  the  Academy;  if  we  all  had  as 
much  energy  as  he,  the  Navy  could  be  cut  in  half  and  we  could  still  take 
every  afternoon  off.  Good  luck,  Willie!

RAYMOND  SHILE

RAY'S  ambition  in  the  field  of  sports  is  exceptional,  though  his  whole 
i_  hearted  participation  in  athletics  sometimes  results  in  painful  re- 
grets. Nor  has  he  limited  himself  solely  to  athletics;  his  mastery  of  the 
finer  arts  of  Terpsichore  is  unique.  It  is  rumored  that  Ray  took  a  corre- 
spondence course  in  the  Rhumba  from  a  famous  studio  and  developed  that 
popular  dance  into,  what  is  now  known  as  the  "Shile  Shag."  Shilelah 
encounters  little  difficulty  with  academics.  In  fact,  his  theory  is  that  better 
exam  grades  are  made  by  boning  in  the  peaceful  atmosphere  of  the  hospital 
amid  pretty  nurses  and  hot  chocolate.  His  ability  to  make  friends  (of  both 
sexes)  should  lead  to  more  than  a  grass  hut  on  the  isle  of  Tahiti,  to  which 
he  often  aspires.

shot  before  entering  the  Academy,  he  has  had  no  trouble  making  the  rifle

PAUL  is  a  sandblower  from  the  deep  South  who  can  borrow  your  last

of  all  literature  with  a  political  savor,  one  of  his  proudest  possessions  is 
his  knowledge  of  history.  Regarding  the  ladies  our  little  rebel  is  a  constant 
source  of  surprise  to  his  roommates.  That  drawl  and  the  dark  curly  hair 
will  throw  the  wariest  off  her  guard.  Cosmo  and  Time  may  win  out  over 
athletics  in  the  long  run,  but  being  a  wrestler  of  no  mean  ability,  you 
will  find  him  drawing  gear  at  the  first  of  the  season.  Keep  him  from 
writing  short  stories  and  beginning  a  novel  during  study  hour  and  you 
have  the  finest  of  roommates.

ZEKE 


OF  the  Albemarle  Jarmans  of  Virginia,  suh!"  Starting  his  naval  career 
auspiciously  by  sounding  off  as  "Lieutenant  Jarman,  fourth  class, 
suh!"  Zeke  became  known  at  the  Academy  as  the  Plebe  who  was  Borries' 
number  one  stooge,  the  youngster  who  attended  formation  without  a 
cap,  and  the  midshipman  who  thought  for  four  years  that  taps  was  at  2.000. 
With  abilities  ranging  from  blowing  smoke  rings  and  sliding  textbooks 
on  the  deck  to  teaching  '35  their  Juice  lessons  at  breakfast,  his  chief 
liability  is  his  capacity  for  giving  an  authentic-sounding  (and  occasionally 
authentic)  comment  on  any  subject  whatsoever.  Snakish  in  tendency  but 
not  in  technique,  Jarm's  always  dragging  and  as  often  broke.  Occupying 
for  his  wives  the  position  of  the  "problem  child,"  Jarman  is  a  type 
essential  to  the  harmony  of  a  four-man  room.

ROSEBUD 


HE'D  never  heard  anything  except  Harry  in  Omaha,  but  his  cheeks 
make  obvious  the  name  he'll  carry  throughout  the  Navy.  It's  said 
of  Rosy  that  in  his  cit  days  he'd  never  seen  a  tux,  glimpsed  the  ocean,  or 
trailed  far  behind  the  best  man.  Since  becoming  one  of  Uncle  Sam's  charity 
patients,  his  tendencies  have  made  us  doubt  the  first;  he's  had  a  prolonged 
introduction  to  the  sea;  but  Rosy's  still  pressing  the  number  one  man — 
without,  however,  slighting  his  study  hour  correspondence.  His  first  batt. 
notoriety  arises  from  an  unbroken  record  of  a  tenth-second  reflex  to  the 
order  "seats"  in  the  messhall.  Our  Rosebud's  always  dragging,  yet  still 
gets  more  of  a  kick  out  of  a  giant  swing,  a  fast  car,  a  good  band,  or  a  Navy 
victory  than  any  six  guys  we  know.

time,  but  serious  enough  to  stand  well  in  the  upper  third,  his  knowledge  of 
the  academic  side  of  life  has  made  him  more  than  helpful  as  a  roommate. 
His  cheerful,  level  point  of  view  is  always  dependable.  His  activities  have

A  CALM  repose,  a  generous  smile,  and  a  readiness  for  work  or  play — 
that's  Jerry.  He  is  the  personification  of  John  Bull:  solid,  sober,  the 
embodiment  of  substance.  No  one  has  ever  seen  him  excited.  Few  things 
have  even  flustered  him.  He  speaks  only  when  speech  is  necessary.  Neither 
a  Red  Mike  nor  a  snake,  Jerry  manages  to  drag  regularly.  His  charm  lies 
not  only  in  his  steadfastness  but  also  in  his  unquenchable  good  humor, 
his  realistic  optimism,  and  his  willingness  to  subordinate  his  desires  for 
those  of  his  friends.  Even  contact  with  the  trees  has  been  unable  to  dimin- 
ish his  cheerfulness  or  to  prevent  him  from  going  out  for  boxing  and 
track.  Here's  a  toast  to  a  real  friend.

JOHN  BEVERLY  SHIRLEY 
Denver,  Colorado 

THIS  mountaineer  climbed  down  out  of  the  hills  at  an  early  age  to 
answer  the  call  of  the  sea.  While  he  has  the  true  heart  of  the  wanderer, 
he  has  disproved  the  old  adage  which  prates  that  rolling  stones  gather 
no  moss.  Johnny  learned  the  ever  true  law  of  the  survival  of  the  fittest. 
He  has  proved  himself  competent  to  cope  with  any  situation.  His  athletic 
forte  has  been  fencing.  In  the  pursuit  of  this  sport,  as  in  everything  else 
that  he  tackles,  he  has  shown  an  inherent  ability  to  master  unfamiliar 
jobs.  He  is  well  known  in  Eastern  fencing  circles  and  has  been  more  than  a 
match  for  some  of  America's  finest  in  this  sport.  All  of  us  are  glad  to 
number  this  capable  sailor  and  good  friend  among  our  shipmates.

CURTIS  WILLIAM  HOWARD

"punchy"  "curt" 

CURT  is  the  kind,  of  friend  you  need  to  have — one  who  will  break  his 
last  drawing  pencil  in  two  and  give  you  half.  His  friends  are  numer- 
ous and  his  credit  is  good — even  at  the  Greek's.  He  entered  the  Academy 
at  the  tender  age  of  sixteen  and  took  up  boxing  and  dragging  as  handicaps 
to  give  his  classmates  a  chance  in  academics.  He  has  a  yen  for  boxing, 
sailing,  tennis,  week-end  leaves,  fast  life,  white  meat,  and  chocolate  cake. 
"Any  old  port  in  a  storm,"  says  he,  but  he  really  prefers  blondes  and 
brownettes  to  any  other  types.  "Drink  and  be  merry  for  tomorrow  you 
may  die."  Possessed  of  a  good  sense  of  humor,  exceptional  perspicacity, 
and  an  able  brain,  he  promises  to  become  an  apt  officer.

San  Antonio,  Texas 
"jim"  "nip" 

TEXAS  turned  Jimmy  over  to  the  Naval  Academy  with  a  great  store 
of  information  on  every  subject  except  the  sea.  Music,  horses,  litera- 
ture, women,  and  good  living  were  his  strong  points.  Once  in  the  Navy, 
however,  all  other  interests  took  a  subordinate  position  and  the  sea  be- 
came his  great  love.  Now  he  is  happiest  when  on  the  water  and  is  as  fine 
a  seaman  as  can  be  found.  We  won't  remember  him  as  the  man  at  the 
wheel,  though.  Instead  it  will  be  Jimmy's  ready  laugh,  his  fondness  for 
practical  jokes,  his  wild  tales  of  the  beloved  Texas  border  towns,  told 
usually  over  a  mug  or  stein,  that  the  many  friends  he  has  won  in  the 
Navy  and  outside  will  recall.  Jimmy,  the  diminutive,  voluble  fellow, 
enjoys  work  and  play  equally.

NO  matter  what  the  temptations,  no  matter  what  the  rewards,  no 
suitor  could  woo  Bill  away  from  his  one  true  love,  the  Navy. 
Common  sense,  sound  judgment,  and  a  happy-go-lucky  willingness  to 
meet  a  situation  more  than  half  way  have  given  Bill  the  advantage  of 
initiative  while  others  have  delayed.  Misfortunes  have  never  disturbed 
his  cheerful  manner,  his  broad  grin,  and  his  ready — but  rotten — puns. 
Always  considerate,  conscientious,  and  generous,  he  is  a  congenial  com- 
panion. For  material  pleasures  Bill  desires  only  a  soft  chair,  an  under- 
standing feminine  companion,  a  big  black  cigar,  and  a  radio  playing  his 
favorite  symphony.  The  Navy  will  find  in  Bill  an  excellent  and  capable 
officer.

FROM  Utah's  Salt  Lake  Bud  came  to  bask  in  the  Navy's  saline  environ- 
ment. His  western  background  gave  him  a  serious  good  nature  which 
enables  him  to  take  and  give  hard  knocks.  Bud's  independence  of  mind, 
his  refusal  to  take  life  as  it  appears  but  rather  as  it  actually  is,  his  accurate 
judgement,  and  his  employment  of  earnest  initiative  will  carry  him  far. 
His  ever-ready  determination  to  accomplish  every  task  thrown  his  way, 
and  his  ability  to  assume  the  whole  responsibility  combine  to  make  Bud 
an  efficient  Naval  Officer.  Coupled  with  ability  to  make  friends  and  un- 
usual understanding  of  human  nature,  Bud  has  a  willingness  to  do  any- 
thing for  his  pals — all  of  which  make  him  an  excellent  roommate.

Newport,  Rhode  Island 


IF  you  think  there,  is  anything  wrong  with  the  Navy  just  tell  Bill  about 
it,  and  he'll  soon  set  you  straight.  Winning  a  Presidential  appoint- 
ment, he  brought  with  him  ambitions  and  ideals  which  were  soon  realized 
in  Academy  life.  You  won't  find  those  stars  on  his  collar,  merely  because 
of  his  great  disdain  for  throat-cutting  tactics.  Scarcely  a  hop  has  found 
him  in  the  stag  line,  and  the  mailman  is  always  a  few  letters  lighter  after 
passing  his  door;  still  he  balks  at  the  mention  of  an  altar.  Bill  sighs  at  the 
sight  of  a  baseball  diamond.  And  why  not,  he's  more  at  home  there  than 
anywhere  else.  His  never  having  turned  down  an  argument  or  a  friend, 
certainly  completes  that  4.0  roommate  I've  been  talking  about.  Good 
luck,  Bill,  and  stay  out  of  Spain.

IEISURE — that's  the  one  thing  that  Jack  lives  for,  and  ever  since  the 
u  first  formation  Plebe  summer,  he's  been  complaining  of  the  rush.  In 
spite  of  his  leisurely  life,  he  has  still  found  time  to  indulge  in  his  favorite 
sport — basketball — and  also  to  do  some  pitching  for  the  baseball  team. 
Although  he  didn't  star  in  his  academics,  he  never  had  cause  to  worry — 
at  least  not  since  he  finished  Math !  Dragging  always  seemed  to  be  too 
much  trouble  for  Jack,  except  when  his  O.  A.  O.  came  down  and  then  he 
really  moved  fast.  Even  though  he's  always  thinking  of  settling  down 
away  back  home,  we  know  that  because  of  his  good  nature  and  his  ability 
to  make  friends,  that  we'll  have  a  fine  shipmate  in  the  Fleet.  Good  luck,

BILL  is  an  Irish  gentleman  and  a  scholar.  He  has  the  sparkling  wit,  the 
bright  smile,  and  the  exuberance  of  Erin's  people.  A  stringent  moral 
code  and  a  fine  sense  of  values  make  his'an  interesting  and  well  balanced 
personality.  Having  great  reason  to  be  proud  of  his  scholastic  ability  and 
academic  record,  Bill  is  as  modest  as  anyone  we  know.  In  the  fall  Bill  plays 
soccer  and  in  the  spring  every  afternoon  finds  him  on  the  river  with  the 
crew.  Light  weight  has  handicapped  him  in  his  favorite  sport,  but  his 
athletic  record  is  as  fine  as  his  scholastic  achievements.  Bill  is  the  best  of 
companions  in  the  Academy  or  on  leave,  and  his  reputation  for  being  a 
good  shipmate  will  undoubtedly  grow  with  his  years  in  the  Service.

RICHARD  EDWARD  JOHNSON

"red"  "junior" 

ONE  man's  loss  is  another  man's  gain — South  Dakota  School  of  Mines 
lost,  and  the  Navy  gained  "Red."  His  breezy  Western  manner  made 
him  many  friends,  and  helped  keep  life  interesting  for  his  roommates.  His 
red  hair  gave  him  the  fight  that  made  him  a  first  rate  water  polo  player  for 
three  years — although  Plebe  summer  he  couldn't  even  swim!  A  quick 
mind  for  things  mechanical  and  an  eagerness  to  learn  kept  him  well  under 
the  hundreds  scholastically.  We  might  call  Dick  a  snake,  for  one  of  his 
most  oft  repeated  cries  was:  "Hey,  fellas,  who'll  I  drag  this  week-end?" 
Although  Junior  came  through  the  Academy  with  flying  colors;  and 
should  do  well  in  the  Fleet,  not  everything  was  easy — he  had  an  awful 
time  keeping  all  that  gear  in  one  locker  and  three  fourths  of  the  closet.

SMALL  of  stature,  but  of  great  heart,  is  Willard,  our  Connecticut 
Yankee.  His  charm  is  in  his  sense  of  propriety,  a  humor  often  self- 
contained,  and  his  thoughtfulness  for  others.  He  can  be  quiet  and  re- 
served at  the  correct  moments,  boisterous  and  even  mischievous  on  the 
proper  occasion.  It  was  hard  at  times  to  get  him  every  place  on  time,  but 
any  help  we  could  give  only  made  up  in  part  for  the  benefits  of  living 
with  him.  Willard,  although  small,  is  hardy  and  his  achievements  ath- 
letically have  been  praiseworthy.  Winter  months  find  him  with  a  steady 
finger  on  the  rifle.  His  mentality  has  been  more  than  able  to  cope  with  the 
scholastic  problems.  His  host  of  friends,  made  wherever  he  has  been, 
testify  to  the  value  of  his  friendship.  We  valued  it  greatly.

"middy"  "daisy" 

THAT  navigatin',  calculating  son-of-a-gun  from  Eastport!  He  spent 
the  first  fifteen  years  of  his  life  right  here,  deciding  to  enter  the 
Academy,  and  then  he  went  to  the  West  Coast  to  think  of  a  way  to  get  in. 
He's  forgotten  his  method  of  entering,  but  it  must  have  been  successful, 
because  he's  been  with  us  as  one  of  the  best  known  fellows  in  the  whole 
Regiment.  He  has  the  most  sincere  loyalty  that  we  have  ever  seen — he 
even  defends  the  Hell-Cats .  He  will  do  anything  in  the  world  for  a  friend, 
and  in  return  he  asks  nothing  more  than  friendship.  He  always  returns 
from  leave  three  minutes  early,  from  liberty  three  seconds  early,  and  from 
a  hop  three  minutes  late.  But  if  anyone  begins  to  lose  patience  with  him, 
his  glowing  smile  takes  charge  and,  again,  Middy  is  right!

SPUD 


SPUD  moved  at  an  early  age  from  Wilmington  down  to  the  Eastern 
Shore.  Here,  undoubtedly  influenced  by  this  famous  Maryland  weather, 
he  grew  sturdily  and  became  the  white,  or  should  we  say  red,  hope  of  his 
teachers.  After  working  four  years,  Red  moved  across  the  bay  to  us;  his 
purpose,  to  become  an  aviator.  Contrary  to  red-headed  tradition,  he  is 
reserved  and  slow  -to  criticize.  Those  opinions  he  forms  are  invariably 
right.  Study,  to  him,  means  boning  a  Post,  Cosmo,  or  Esquire,  or  writing 
letters.  Nevertheless,  he  has  always  worn  stars.  Running  and  dancing 
attract  him  the  year  round,  though  he  is  too  steady  to  be  a  snake.  Spud 
inspires  the  confidence  of  men  and  women  alike.  He  is  outstanding  for 
clearheadedness  and  common  sense.

not  just  by  act  of  Congress.  Tommy  is  the  strong,  silent  type;  and  when  he 
speaks,  it  is  usually  with  some  ponderous  statement  such  as  "Who  hid  my 
mail?"  Many  a  feminine  heart  is  enraptured  by  his  line  when  he  does  cut 
loose;  but  he  is  a  reliable  stag  at  the  hops,  preferring  to  remain  true  to 
those  Montgomery  belles.  On  very  special  occasions  one  of  these  is  in- 
troduced in  the  glory  of  a  "cold  4.0."  He  would  not  hesitate  an  instant  to 
give  a  pal  his  last  dollar  or  to  aid  in  easing  the  load  of  a  heavy  brick.  We

DESPITE  the  fact  that  Bill  wasn't  born  in  Texas,  he  is  the  tall,  rangy 
type  we  usually  associate  with  that  state.  His  ability  to  sustain  a

Slow  and  easy-going,  he  refuses  to  be  worried  by  anything  except  that  he

continue  to  make  him  many  friends.  In  the  section  room  he  has  had  some- 
thing of  a  struggle,  but  his  vigorous  spirit  and  ability  to  laugh  away  his 
troubles  have  successfully  turned  every  situation  for  him.  Al  had  a  severe 
case  of  "petticoat  fever"  for  three  years,  but  finally  the  tension  was  re- 
lieved when  the  cause  was  eliminated.  Ah,  the  anguish  of  a  love  grown 
cold !  Seriously,  Lynn  will  always  be  a  grand  friend  and  his  companionship 
whether  at  work  or  at  play  will  always  be  appreciated.

ORDERS,  failure  to  obey" — Ten  hours  extra  duty — This  all  happened 
that  first  memorable  day  upon  his  transition  from  civies  to  Uncle 
Samuel's  uniform.  Needless  to  say,  since  then,  Gawgie  has  been  willing 
to  cooperate,  and  his  thoughtfulness  and  congeniality  have  made  him  a 
friend  to  all  who  know  him.  George's  quiet  self-possession  is  never  dis- 
turbed, and  his  casual  witty  remarks  never  fail  to  bring  a  hearty  laugh. 
His  one  outstanding  weakness,  however,  is  the  fairer  sex;  and  in  that 
respect,  he  wears  his  heart  on  his  sleeve.  Many  times  the  Academic  sea 
has  been  a  bit  rough  for  George,  but  his  perseverance  has  enabled  him  to 
weather  the  storms.  This  ability  to  work  hard,  and  that  rarer  quality,  to 
play  equally  as  hard,  will  carry  him  far  in  the  service,  or  out.

JOHN  NEVILLE  MYERS 
Michigan  City,  Indiana 
"spike"  "johnny" 

WE'VE  heard  rumors  that  our  boy,  Spike,  was  president  of  his 
graduating  class  in  high  school.  This  popularity  seems  to  have 
followed  him  to  the  Naval  Academy.  Although  not  of  the  snake  type, 
John  never  seems  to  shun  the  company  of  the  so-called  fairer  sex.  He 
possesses  a  fine,  carefree  disposition  with  a  vein  of  seriousness  running 
deep  in  his  character — an  excellent  liberty  companion,  whether  the  port 
be  Annapolis  or  Berlin.  These  liberties  seemed  to  have  held  a  fascination 
for  him  for  he  was  always  one  of  the  first  ashore  and  the  last  back  aboard. 
Far  from  being  a  star  man,  still  for  three  years  his  willingness  in  translating 
our  Dago  has  kept  us  in  the  black.  In  both  the  service  or  civilian  life,  his 
cheerful  smile  and  quiet  friendliness  will  always  stand  him  in  the  top  file.

Paris,  Texas 


bolts 


SINCE  he  is  small  but  dynamic,  size  has  never  meant  much  to  Rabbit. 
Hailing  from  Texas,  a  state  which  is  noted  for  its  big  men,  Bolton 
has  done  much  at  the  Academy  to  make  any  Texan  proud  to  claim  him 
as  a  native  son.  As  each  fall  rolled  around  the  football  squad  has  always 
felt  his  presence,  a  presence  which  made  the  rest  of  the  squad  appear  at  a 
standstill.  As  soon  as  spring  came,  we  again  found  him  using  his  speed 
for  track.  He  occasionally  laid  aside  his  activities  in  sports  to  drag  the 
little  lady  for  a  week-end.  The  flip-flip  of  a  deck  of  cards  makes  an  un- 
ceasing call  and  you  can  usually  find  him  participating  in  a  game  of 
chance.  With  his  easy  manner,  he  has  made  a  great  number  of  friends, 
and  he  will  succeed,  we  know,  in  whatever  he  undertakes  in  the  Fleet.

PHILIP  ARTHUR  BESHANY 

Brooklyn,  New  York 
"besh"  "phil" 

BESH  came  to  us  from  the  big  city  of  New  York  with  the  determination 
to  make  good  in  the  Navy.  In  four  years  this  determination  hasn't 
in  the  least  diminished.  His  willingness  to  help  others  who  are  not  blessed 
with  his  savvyness  kept  his  roommates  sat  at  the  crucial  times.  Phil 
hasn't  stopped  smiling  since  the  seventh  of  June,  1934.  His  ability  to 
remember  names  and  faces  brought  him  many  friends,  especially  among  the 
"weaker"  sex.  He  seldom  misses  a  hop  or  the  spaghetti  joint  before  it, 
invariably  with  a  drag  in  tow.  Sports  did  not  come  quite  as  easy  to  Besh 
as  women  and  studies,  but  every  season  found  him  on  some  squad.  This, 
tenacity  assures  us  that  he  will  find  success  in  whatever  he  attempts.

Annapolis,  Maryland

PRESENTING  the  young  Skipper — once  pride  of  Spike's  Navy  Juniors, 
now  the  Regiment's  own  light  heavy.  A  sailor  of  the  old  school,  rigid 
and  military,  unyielding  in  his  determination  and  loyalty.  Skipper  is  a 
practical  seaman;  he  loves  the  water  and  the  Navy;  and  he  conquers  Steam 
and  Juice  for  this  end.  If  one  doubts  his  fight  and  determination,  he  has 
not  seen  him  with  the  "hustlers."  If  one  doubts  his  loyalty,  ask  him  this 
question,  "Is  our  Navy  ready?"  And  besides  this,  Skipper  is  human — "at 
times"  a  Southern  gentleman;  and  at  all  times  that  way  of  his  with  the 
women  is  a  point  to  emulate.  Although  he  has  a  soft  spot  for  the  Marine 
Corps,  his  class  number  doesn't  warrant  him  this  coveted  aspiration.  The 
Marine  Corps'  loss  is  Navy's  gain.

JAMES  WALKER  DANFORTH 

Washington,  Illinois 

danny  "  "  little  giant 

DANNY  hails  from  the  plains  of  Illinois,  never  having  seen  the 
splendors  of  civilization  except  when  his  mother  took  him  to  Peoria 
at  the  age  of  three.  However,  his  ability  to  adapt  himself  to  any  condition 
found  him  at  no  disadvantage  in  these  strange  surroundings.  This  un- 
forgettable trip  so  stimulated  his  curiosity  that  he  joined  the  Navy. 
Although  his  size  is  not  in  harmony  with  his  ideas,  there  is  no  task  too 
difficult  for  him,  once  he  decides  to  tackle  it.  Football  he  loves  and  plays 
for  the  game's  sake;  and  were  it  not  for  his  size  he'd  wear  the  varsity  blue. 
His  calm  assurance,  ability  to  accomplish  his  ends,  and  total  lack  of  fear 
will  pave  for  him  a  smooth  road  to  a  distinguished  naval  career.

MANY  a  feminine  tear  was  shed  when  Steve  answered  the  call  of  the 
sea.  Ever  since,  he  has  lived  up  to  the  Navy  tradition  of  having  a 
girl  in  every  port.  Steve's  prowess  on  the  lacrosse  field  and  on  the  wrestling 
mat  became  apparent  Plebe  summer  and  has  continued  to  grow  during  the 
past  four  years.  Sincerity  and  frankness  predominate  his  character,  com- 
manding respect  from  all.  His  good  nature  and  even  temper  have  won  for 
him  many  friends.  By  no  means  a  scholar,  he  has  always  managed  by 
diligent  work  and  a  last  minute  drive  to  survive  the  scythe.  Gifted  with 
a  practical  mind  and  a  good  sense  of  judgment,  combined  with  the  ability 
to  produce  when  necessary,  he  will  undoubtedly  go  far  in  his  chosen 
profession.

THE  sage  of  thirty-eight;  the  grand  old  man  whose  devotion  and  effort 
made  our  football  team  a  better  one;  whose  friendliness  and  rugged, 
down-to-earth  philosophy  have  made  him  a  shipmate  to  everyone.  Always 
yearning  for  the  beauties  of  the  Susquehanna  Valley,  and  with  no  love 
for  the  mechanical  side  of  the  Midshipman's  college  life,  Dave  has  found 
it  hard  at  times  to  be  happy  in  this  modified  country  club.  He  got  a  late 
start,  missing  Plebe  summer  and  all  its  joys,  but  in  spite  of  this,  was 
elected  Captain  of  our  undefeated  Plebe  team.  His  sonorous  voice  has  won 
him  acclaim  in  Berlin's  night  life  and  in  the  Musical  Club  shows.  In  a 
military  way,  Pop's  greatest  achievement  was  being  leader  of  our  crack 
color  squad.

"tiny" 

FINE  things  are  better  appreciated  than  described.  To  draw  a  picture 
of  a  young  fellow,  however,  blessed  with  a  grand  physique,  immense 
vitality,  and  plenty  of  poise,  coupled  with  a  keenly  analytical  and  well- 
developed  mental  organ,  would  be  to  outline  substantially  this  character, 
Frank.  He  is  of  the  fortunates  with  whom  the  briefest  acquaintance  is  a 
pleasurable  memory;  the  longest  friendship,  an  unforgettable  chapter. 
Native  to  Kansas,  Frank  is  not  conspicuously  a  Kansan.  On  the  gridiron 
or  the  basketball  court  he  handles  his  opponents  as  deftly  as  a  teacup, 
and  he  twirls  a  wicked  teacup!  Track  completes  his  year-round  tour  of 
the  sports,  for  he  excels  in  that,  too.  For  a  frolic  or  a  fray,  the  lad  is  a 
best  bet.

JOHN  ALFRED  BARTOL 
Boston,  Massachusetts 

JOHN  hails  from  Boston  and  is  a  true  son  of  classic  old  New  England. 
Possessed  of  a  rugged  frame  and  a  good  appetite,  a  natural  aptitude 
for  engineering  and  a  physiognomy  that  women  consider  fetching,  John 
has  of  a  certainty  capitalized  on  his  natural  endowments  and  goes  forth  a 
seasoned  veteran  after  four  years  with  us.  The  quality  that  stands  out 
about  the  boy  is  his  calm  air  of  self-assurance.  We've  never  seen  "The 
Ace"  excited.  Unhurried  and  unruffled,  good  natured,  but  quick  with  an 
answer  when  things  get  out  of  hand,  the  Tiger  has  carved  his  own  niche 
in  the  roster  of  '38.  Cribbage  is  his  game,  but  indoor  aviation  is  the  light 
of  his  life,  according  to  certain  Boston  tabloids.  We  won't  forget  you, 
John.

OSBORNE  BEEM AN  WISEMAN 
Zanesville,  Ohio 


ozzie 


OZZIE'S  Rubicon  was  the  muddy  Muskingum  which  he  crossed  when 
he  left  his  home  city  of  Zanesville.  Not  gold  braid,  but  the  desire 
to  become  a  naval  aviator  lured  this  specimen  into  the  Naval  Academy. 
Photography  is  his  hobby,  and  he  turns  out  really  fine  work;  but  prior 
to  Second  Class  year  and  the  arrival  of  Philco  he  had  won  a  reputation  as 
the  crooner  of  room  1343.  This  free  thinker  refuses  to  believe  that  music 
must  be  fifty  years  old  to  be  acceptable.  Besides  crooning  his  only  vicious 
trait  is  an  inexplicable  desire  to  drag  at  the  least  provocation.  Academics 
are  just  stepping  stones  to  Ozzie,  and  he  takes  them  with  his  usual  first- 
platoon  stride,  just  as  he  will  continue  to  overcome  the  obstacles  that 
may  confront  him.

"dee-ho"  "dee" 

THIS  sandblower  joined  our  ranks  from  Indiana,  a  creditable  product 
of  the  Hoosier  state.  Not  far  from  the  savoir  class,  he  learns  well  and 
obligingly  explains  the  intricacies  of  Math  and  Steam.  From  athletics  he 
chooses  swimming  and  tennis;  you'll  find  him  splashing  around  the  pool 
when  little  chips  of  ice  float  all  about,  and  dashing  across  the  courts 
when  the  Maryland  sun  is  doing  its  worst.  Pleasing  manners  make  Chas. 
one  of  the  envied  few  who  quickly  become  acquainted  in  every  port. 
Definitely  not  a  snake,  no  one  female  has  yet  made  him  drag  more  than 
ust  now  and  then.  Chas.  has  that  first  essential  in  a  roommate,  consider- 
ation. And  he's  no  shirker.  Nor  has  anyone  lately  called  him  a  greaser, 
he's  just  a  good  staunch  vertebra  in  the  backbone  of  the  regiment.

IF  you  are  in  need  of  a  pipeful  of  tobacco,  stamps,  or  a  loan,  just  ask 
Jeff  but  don't  ask  him  to  believe  that  modern  languages  are  based  on 
the  sun,  the  sea,  the  snake,  and  the  consonant  groups.  The  Academic 
Department  has  never  haunted  our  hero  as  his  idea  of  the  way  to  draw 
an  easy  slip  is  to  know  all  the  answers,  and  he  usually  does.  He  fought 
for  his  battalion  Plebe  summer,  but  the  prospect  of  eating  on  a  training 
table  proved  so  distasteful  that  Jeff  hung  up  his  gloves  and  bought  a 
typewriter.  However,  he  has  yet  to  win  a  decision  over  this  gadget,  as

HERMAN  THOMAS  KROL 

Paterson,  New  Jersey 
"herm"  "herr" 

FROM  a  fraternity  of  automobile  maniacs  in  Paterson,  New  Jersey, 
came  our  Herman.  The  lure  of  the  throbbing  motor  still  holds  him. 
Whether  it  be  the  putt-putt  of  a  motor  launch,  the  roar  of  a  crash  boat, 
or  the  drone  of  a  flying  machine,  he  is  bewitched  until  the  sound  has  faded. 
Jumping  from  desk  to  window  and  back,  now  impulsive  and  driving,  now 
nonchalant  and  carefree,  he  is  always  a  good  fellow  who  lives  every 
minute.  Outbursts  against  the  "system,"  and  frequent  remonstrances 
against  misguided  Plebes  have  rocked  audiences  with  laughter.  Were  it 
not  for  his  extra  curricular  activities,  his  bull  shooting,  and  a  mania  for 
"D-Xing"  after  taps,  he  might  have  starred.  To  a  lad  who  can't  help 
succeeding,  we  wish  a  long,  distinguished,  and  happy  service  career.

HENRY  CONRAD  LAUERMAN 

Chicago,  Illinois 
"sourpuss"  "hook" 

HANK  is  bound  to  make  a  success  of  anything  that  he  may  undertake 
to  do.  In  his  studies  as  in  soccer  he  is  always  "on  the  ball"  and  he 
keeps  it  moving  at  a  rapid  pace.  When  he  came  East  from  Chicago  to  get 
his  first  glimpse  of  salt  water,  he  also  brought  with  him  his  ready  wit, 
good  humor,  bad  puns,  cheerful  smile  and  vile-smelling  pipe.  Always 
ready  to  lend  a  helping  hand  and  just  as  frequently  without  matches.  He 
doesn't  like  hops  and  would  much  rather  be  involved  in  a  heated  dis- 
cussion. Deep  thinking  is  Hank's  specialty,  but  alas,  this  has  its  bad  points. 
It  is  always  accompanied  by  a  far-off  look  in  his  eyes  and  by  innumerable 
"amnesiations"  or  worst  yet  a  new  philosophy  on  life.  And  when  it 
comes  to  quotations  or  poetry,  old  "droop  snoot"  is  always  up  front  with 
the  best  of  them.

"bob"  "booby" 

STOCKY  and  powerfully,  built,  Bob  is  one  of  the  lads  who,  unsung  and 
almost  unknown,  make  it  possible  for  N-stars  to  be  worn  on  the  chests 
of  football  heroes.  His  ability,  combined  with  a  little  more  effort,  would 
undoubtedly  have  put  him  at  the  top.  "But,"  says  Bob,  "varsity  men  can't 
go  to  hops."  Since  Plebe  year  this  handsome  Yank  has  been  easily  passing 
room  inspections.  Just  one  glance  at  the  harem  mounted  on  his  locker  door 
has  been  sufficient  to  blind  the  eyes  of  inspecting  officers.  Between  the 
times  exhausted  in  meeting  his  correspondence  obligations  Bob  manages 
to  study  enough  to  keep  safely  above  the  danger  line.  His  jovial  nature  and 
unselfish  ways  have  won  him  a  great  many  friends.  And  those  same 
characteristics  will  help  him  to  succeed  in  the  Service.

LIKE  father,  like  son !  The  senior  Farmer  spent  part  of  the  World  War 
u  in  cruising  around  beneath  European  waters.  And  now  little  Claude 
wants  to  emulate  his  parent.  To  this  lanky,  easy-going  son  of  Kentucky, 
the  four  years  at  the  Academy  are  merely  a  necessary  obstacle  between 
civilian  life  and  his  beloved  pigboats.  He  is  not  at  all  an  ardent  student, 
but  he  generally  navigates  safely  beyond  Two-point-five  Shoals.  He  is  an 
enthusiastic  supporter  of  crew  and  has  bent  his  oar  over  many  miles  of 
the  Severn.  Hops  are  an  irresistible  lure  to  Claude.  He  drags  often  but 
remains  true,  nevertheless,  to  a  fair  Navy  Junior  on  the  West  Coast.  His 
admirable  self-control,  his  unselfishness,  and  his  extreme  loyalty  will  un- 
doubtedly enable  him  to  become  a  successful  officer.

"abie" 

YEARS  ago  Abie  paddled  his  rowboat  along  the  shores  of  Hampton 
Roads,  and  dreamed  that  he  was  stroking  the  Navy  crew  to  victory. 
Maybe  this  proves  the  old  maxim  that  if  you  want  a  thing  enough  you 
will  get  it.  At  any  rate,  Abie  holds  the  singular  honor  of  being  the  only 
second  classman  ever  to  captain  a  Navy  crew.  Academically,  Abie  is  not  a 
star  man,  but  through  perseverance  and  hard  work  has  managed  to  stay 
in  the  upper  half  of  his  class,  much  of  his  effort  being  wasted  in  keeping 
his  two  wooden  roommates  sat.  Modest  and  retiring,  but  aggressive  when 
need  be,  he  is  a  man  who  can  take  and  give  orders  with  ability  equal  to 
the  best  Navy  traditions.  He  should  go  far  in  his  chosen  field.

YOU  can  take  it  from  his  "wives,"  Eli  should  have  come  from  the 
North  Pole  instead  of  Texas.  His  yen  for  fresh  air  nearly  froze  us 
every  winter  for  four  years.  Although  he  came  back  from  Plebe  Christmas 
with  a  very  pessimistic  attitude  concerning  his  naval  future,  he  became 
one  of  the  "vicious  system's"  staunchest  supporters.  Living  with  radicals 
left  him  as  he  came  to  us,  an  idealist  who  preserved  the  proper  balance  in 
the  room.  Every  spring  found  Eli  out  for  track,  where,  in  spite  of  his 
fourth-platoon  legs,  he  succeeded  in  getting  over  the  low  hurdles.  We 
hesitate  to  predict  futures,  but  think  our  roommate  capable  of  making 
his  way  anywhere.

how  he  got  here,  and  no  one  will  admit  the  responsibility,  but  we're 
mighty  glad  of  his  presence.  If  he  ever  had  a  serious  thought,  he  kept  it  a 
secret,  and  the  world  is  probably  better  off.  As  far  as  academics  are  con- 
cerned, he  has  made  a.  few  little  mistakes,  such  as  taking  the  left  ascension 
of  a  turbine,  but  he  always  ends  in  the  first  hundred.  His  activity  is 
basketball.  His  vices  are  bridge  and  losing  song  sheets.  He  is  a  perfect

would  be  losing  the  happiest  side  of  our  lives.

1AZY  is  the  word  for  Bob.  He  always  follows  the  line  of  least  resistance,

Golden  State,  we'd  be  sure  he  hailed  from  "them  thar  mountings  of 
Kaintucky."  He  likes  sailing  because  he  does  it  sitting  down.  With  the 
exception  of  his  lessons,  he  reads  everything  from  Kant  to  Frank  Harris, 
but  manages  to  get  by.  G.  B.  can  be  found  almost  any  afternoon  quoting 
Chaucer  to  support  his  mad  theories  on  the  fickleness  of  femmes,  or  getting 
himself  involved  in  the  midst  of  his  wild  tales  a  la  California.  Famed  for 
his  dark  glasses,  he  is  the  original  "two  black  lights  in  a  fog."  Chow, 
though  hampered  by  a  tricky  back,  takes  an  interest  in  athletics  as  long 
as  the  physical  effort  does  not  detract  too  much  from  the  game;  but  he 
would  rather  caulk  off  anvtime.

FOUR  years  ago  Bob  left  his  Golden  West  to  come  East  to  wear  the 
Blue  and  Gold.  Somehow  he  manages  to  abandon  his  "Collier's" 
and  "American"  long  enough  to  stand  near  the  head  of  his  class  academ- 
ically. A  "Steinmetz"  with  radios,  he  is  usually  in  the  midst  of  a  maze  of 
parts  which  soon  become  a  set.  Cheerfully,  he  tinkers  with  the  radios  that 
balk  on  his  friends.  .He  is  not  too  slippery  with  the  women,  but  likes  to 
drag  occasionally,  siding  with  his  wife  in  preference  for  blondes,  especially 
the  one  back  home.  Worth  a  million  as  a  wife  with  his  willingness  to  help, 
he  yet  delights  in  telling  or  playing  jokes.  Famous  last  words,  "Let's  go 
out  and  eat  hamburgers,  Joe."  We'll  miss  him,  but  the  Fleet  surely  will 
welcome  him.

Cheerful,  industrious,  always  ready  for  work  or  play,  he  has  been  an  asset

OCCASIONALLY  "Time"  captivates  our  Brucy-woosy,  but  otherwise 
his  study  hours  are  spent  on  his  over-worked  bunk.  Nevertheless, 
neither  Dago  nor  the  hours  cheerfully  devoted  to  pulling  his  wife  "sat"

to  the  Academy  with  his  clear,  concise  reporting  of  sports  for  the  press. 
Although  he  has  been  a  mainstay  of  both  the  battalion  soccer  and  baseball 
squads,  his  most  thrilling  accomplishment  was  getting  off  the  sub  squad 
in  one  day  and  weak  squad  in  another.  Sug's  desires  from  life  are  good 
food,  comfort,  the  better  literature,  fine  music,  and  a  wife  to  match.  Even 
though  his  idea  of  a  stiff  workout  is  filling  a  vacuumatic  pen,  a  keen 
analytical  mind  will  enable  him  to  attain  all  these.

JOHNNY  proves  the  statement  that  the  last  isn't  necessarily  the  least. 
The  last  man  to  enter  his  class,  although  a  sandblower,  is  certainly  not 
the  least  of  us.  John  likes  his  sports,  especially  baseball — when  someone 
else  does  the  work.  Tinkering  and  aquarium  fish  are  his  hobbies.  His  power 
as  a  storyteller  increases  daily — no  wonder  his  drags  rate  among  the  Regi- 
ment. Academics  nearly  put  an  end  to  John's  career  during  Plebe  year,  but 
being  one  of  those  amazing  persons  whose  grades  increase  when  he  studies 
least,  he  skimmed  by  and  has  been  improving  his  standing  ever  since.  If 
the  qualities  of  a  gentleman  combined  with  unusual  sense  of  humor,  sin-

sports !  And  now,  if  Iggy  can  learn  to  add  on  a  '  'slipstick, ' '  he'll  be  a  great 
navigator  as  well  as  a  grand  shipmate.

WILLIAM  "K"  RATLIFF 

Cromwell,  Oklahoma 
"willie"  "si" 

BILL  hails  from  the  thick  of  the  oil  fields — the  last  stronghold  of  the 
old  West.  One  is  first  impressed  by  his  quiet  manner,  but  his  accumula- 
tion of  nicknames — Snuffy,  Si,  Ha-penny,  and  Willie — give  evidence  of  his 
wealth  of  experience.  Not  athletically  inclined,  Bill  has  gained  an  undis- 
puted membership  to  the  Radiator  Club.  Academically,  he  would  stand 
No.  i  if  making  friends  and  writing  letters  to  Stillwater,  Oklahoma,  were 
included  in  the  curriculum.  Willie  is  always  ready  to  aid  a  less  fortunate 
classmate,  even  to  the  point  of  dragging  blind  or  standing  another's  hop- 
watch.  His  qualifications  as  a  shipmate  are  the  highest;  he  seldom  bor- 
rows but  would  willingly  lend  his  last  pack  of  "skags"  to  a  friend.  His 
striking  sense  of  humor  and  quick  smile  should  carry  him  far  in  the  Fleet. 
Good  luck,  Willie! 


AFTER  rah-rahing  for  two  years  at  Michigan,  Knappy  relinquished 
,_  campus  life  for  the  Service.  It  has  been  a  fortunate  choice  both  for 
him  and  for  us,  his  shipmates.  He  is  definitely  a  savoir,  but,  just  as  defi- 
nitely, not  a  cut-throat.  Though  beset  with  his  own  difficulties  in  Bull 
and  Dago,  many  will  remember  him  as  "the  man  who  pulled  me  sat  in 
Steam."  The  Little  Man  indulges  principally  in  three  diversions:  Bossing 
the  Navy  crew,  dragging  the  lucky  one  of  his  many  feminine  admirers,  or 
giving  way  to  his  flair  for  things  mechanical.  After  two  years  in  the  Fleet, 
Elton  plans  to  return  to  his  first  love,  aviation.  This  is  his  forte,  and  we 
feel  his  unusual  abilities  have  consigned  him  to  a  successful  career.

JAMES  HERBERT  RAY 

Washington,  D.  C. 

"jimmy" 

JIMMY  was  born  and  bred  with  the  ideals  that  make  the  Service  what 
we  would  have  it.  He  is  the  exception  that  proves  the  rule  concerning 
that  familiar  maxim  on  Navy  Juniors.  He  has  travelled  far  and  has  had 
many  enviable  experiences  both  in  the  Islands  and  the  States.  He  can 
scarcely  claim  a  home  state,  but  by  the  same  token  he  can  claim  almost  any 
of  them.  From  the  moment  he  entered  the  Academy  he  has  been  all-Navy. 
Little  Annapolis  has  found  a  tender  spot  in  his  heart,  and  Annapolis,  too, 
has  its  secret  yearning.  Jimmy  has  a  host  of  friends  and  proves  himself  the 
type  that  is  willing  to  lend  a  hand  and  justify  the  attachment.  We  hope 
and  expect  to  see  his  "four  star"  flying  some  day.

"jack" 

ONE  of  Jack's  most  interesting  traits  is  his  diversity  of  ideas.  One 
never  knows  just  what  to  expect  next,  and  consequently  there  is 
never  a  dull  moment  with  him  about.  Although  an  inland  boy,  Jack  can 
claim  to  be  as  "salty"  as  any  of  his  classmates.  He  entered  the  Navy  as  a 
means  of  securing  an  appointment  to  the  Academy,  and  everything  he  has 
attained  has  been  through  competition  and  hard  work.  His  training  in  the 
Navy  has  given  him  the  invaluable  ability  of  being  able  to  see  both  sides 
of  a  question  and  not  just  from  the  officers'  viewpoint.  Charming,  witty, 
loyal,  and  a  sport  in  the  highest  sense  of  the  word.  Jack  is  one  of  the  finest 
friends  a  man  could  have.  Best  of  everything  always,  old  timer.

BENJAMIN  CLARK  ADAMS 
Derry,  New  Hampshire 


ben 


HAVING  had  plenty  of  scholastic  experience  before  coming  to  the 
Academy,  Ben  has  an  enviable  knack  of  eking  out  a  bare  "z.  5"  with 
a  minimum  of  effort.  He  has  also  gained  the  reputation  of  never  being  in 
his  room  when  liberty  was  available  and  was  a  leading  contender  for  five- 
striper  of  the  "Flying  Squadron."  Ben  comes  from  New  Hampshire,  but  is 
impartial  in  his  tastes  and  drags  from  all  sections  of  the  country.  His  ex- 
traordinary ability  to  bone  easily  gave  him  much  spare  time;  so  he  par- 
ticipated in  many  extracurricular  activities,  most  of  which,  however, 
were  not  sponsored  by  the  Executive  Department.  Gifted  with  intelli- 
gence and  the  ability  to  adapt  himself  to  any  situation,  Ben  will  never 
have  any  trouble  in  making  a  going  concern  of  his  career. 


CLARKE  JAMES  BENNETT 
Fromberg,  Montana 


BENNY 


BEHIND  the  quiet,  unassuming  manner  of  this  son  of  Montana  lies  an 
interesting  personality.  His  modesty  is  surprising  to  those  who  know 
him,  and  only  on  rare  occasions  could  even  his  roommates  get  him  to  talk 
about  himself.  Academics  came  to  Benny  without  much  effort,  and  on 
many  occasions  his  "wives"  found  in  him  the  ultimate  solution  to  diffi- 
cult problems,  notably  in  Math.  Not  a  candidate  for  any  organized  squad, 
but  an  ardent  member  of  that  murderous  McDonough  basketball  crew  was 
Benny,  and  judging  from  his  brand  of  play  he  must  have  been  something  of 
an  athlete  before  he  came  into  our  midst.  His  roommates  found  him  a  true 
friend,  and  we  feel  that  everyone  else  will.  If  you  are  looking  for  a  well- 
balanced  man,  here  is  our  choice.

ALFRED  LAWRENCE  BOOTH 
Elyria,  Ohio 


ALBIE 


AFTER  two  years  of  college,  Albie  decided  he  wanted  to  be  a  soldier; 
±\.  so  without  breaking  Step,  he  took  the  exams  for  West  Point.  It 
was  a  dark  night  when  he  changed  trains  in  Pittsburgh  and  before  he  knew, 
it  was  Albie  Booth  of  Navy.  Studies  don't  bother  him  much,  and  the 
Executive  Department  even  less.  As  long  as  the  United  States  mails  operate 
between  Elyria,  Washington,  Annapolis,  and  points  west,  his  war  cry  will 
be,  "Hey,  mate,  where's  my  mail?"  He  picked  up  his  roommates  by  throw- 
ing water  on  them  after  taps.  We  still  haven't  figured  it  out,  but  he's  an 
excellent  roommate,  always  ready  to  show  a  classmate  the  effect  of  G.  C.  T. 
on  the  great  sidereal  movement.  Whatever  it  may  be,  he's  always  in  there 
fighting,  and  we  know  he  will  make  good.

LOUIS  EARLE  DECAMP 

Los  Angeles,  California 
"del"  "louie" 

DEL,  when  a  wee  tot,  built  his  first  boat  and  sailed  it  in  the  family 
bathtub.  Soon  he  was  sailing  real  boats  on  the  blue  Pacific,  and  it 
was  this  interest  in  the  sea  that  influenced  him  to  give  up  college  life. 
Del  is  a  man  of  varied  interests.  Known  as  a  savoir  to  his  friends  and  room- 
mates, still  he  is  not  the  proverbial  bookworm  and  always  is  ready  for  a 
tall  story  or  a  practical  joke.  A  weakness  for  mint  patties  and  chow  did 
not  prevent  him  from  being  the  mainstay  of  the  gym  team,  whipping  up 
the  rope  in  intercollegiate  record  time.  Del's  happy  personality  and  his 
interest  in  Navy  life  are  bound  to  carry  him  to  the  thing  that  he  desires 
most  of  all — to  actually  command  a  battleship.

JOHN  ALBERT  LEONARD 

Newport,  Rhode  Island 
"jack"  "pennelli" 

JACK  made  doubly  sure  of  getting  into  the  Navy  by  passing  the  entrance 
examinations  twice  before  he  won  an  appointment  and  finally  became 
a  midshipman.  Much  to  his  surprise,  he  found  that  standing  in  the  upper 
half  of  his  class  wasn't  so  hard  after  all.  He  played  lacrosse  well  enough 
to  be  goalie  on  the  Plebe  lacrosse  team,  but  just  athletics  wasn't  enough 
of  outside  activities  for  Jack.  He  has  earned  his  nickname,  "Casanova," 
by  seldom  missing  a  hop.  His  consideration  for  his  pals  makes  the  posses- 
sion of  Jack's  friendship  a  valuable  asset,  and  the  cheerful  willingness 
with  which  he  goes  out  of  his  way  to  help  others  will  make  him  a  welcome 
shipmate  wherever  he  goes  in  the  Navy.

WILLIAM  OSCAR  SPEARS,  JR. 
Chattanooga,  Tennessee 


BILL  came  to  Navy  via  military  school  and  Severn  Prep.  With  him  he 
brought  his  own  motto  of  "Never  do  today  that  which  you  can  put 
off  till  the  day  after  tomorrow."  A  less  talented  man  would  have  bilged 
long  ago,  but  Bill  rarely  has  trouble  with  mental  specters.  Navy's  white 
hope  in  high  jumping,  he  finds  plenty  of  time  to  show  the  boys  how 
Culbertson  plays  bridge.  Willie  is  no  snake,  but  he  has  such  a  pleasant 
disposition  that  he  never  says  "no"  to  a  classmate's  entreaty  to  drag 
blind.  Worlds  of  success  to  you,  Bill,  and  here's  hoping  we  are  shipmates 
again  when  we  reach  the  Fleet.

his  four  years  here,  and  the  first  step  in  his  naval  career  has  ended. 
From  the  good  material  received,  when  he  entered  a  short  four  years  ago, 
the  Academy  has  built  an  officer  and  a  gentleman  who  will  live  up  to  the 
highest  ideals  and  traditions  of  the  service.  For  four  years  he  has  been  a 
loyal  and  helpful  classmate,  always  ready  to  assist  his  more  wooden 
classmates,  or  even  drag  blind  for  them  if  asked.  As  an  incurable  snake  he 
always  dragged.  Never  a  member  of  the  radiator  squad,  he  was  always 
engaged  in  some  form  of  athletics.  Having  known  him  as  a  classmate  I 
envy  the  men  who  have  him  for  a  shipmate.

ROBERT  GORDON  BIDWELL 
Washington,  D.  C. 


ROBERT  Gordon  Bidwell,  generally  called  Biddie  by  his  classmates, 
_  is  a  true  son  of  the  Navy.  Like  most  Navy  Juniors  he  had  a  hard 
time  getting  an  appointment;  but  after  he  entered  he  never  had  a  great 
deal  of  difficulty  with  his  studies.  Biddie  has  but  one  fault — that  of  enter- 
ing the  room  and  shouting  at  the  top  of  his  lungs  in  the  middle  of  exam 
week,  when  nerves  aren't  too  good  anyhow.  He  more  than  makes  up  for 
that,  however,  in  other  ways.  Biddie  is  always  ready  to  do  a  friend  a 
favor;  and  in  all  cooperative  enterprises  he  does  more  than  his  share.  He 
has  plenty  of  common  sense  and  a  cool  head  in  emergencies.  He  will  make 
an  excellent  officer  and  ought  to  get  a  four  star  flag.

ELVIN  CLINTON  OGLE 

Moscow,  Idaho 


EL 


ELVIN  has  changed  national  opportunism  from  "Go  West,  young 
man"  to  "Come  East,  young  lady."  His  drawing  power  is  something 
to  be  coveted;  although  his  sentiments  are  known  to  be  true.  At  the 
University  of  Idaho,  El  reaped  a  knowledge  of  the  ways  of  the  world; 
and  he  came  to  Annapolis  to  specialize  in  that  "Navy  line."  With  a 
classic  profile,  a  flash  of  perfect  teeth,  and  a  genial  manner,  he  can  straddle 
any  obstacle.  A  true  friend,  he  is  a  fellow  who  will  tell  you  if  you're 
wrong  when  others  say  you're  right;  but  he'll  stick  by  you  when  everyone 
else  knows  you're  wrong.  Elvin  emulates  the  postage  stamp — he  sticks 
to  one  thing  until  he  gets  there;  and  his  diligence,  coupled  with  natural 
ability,  will  carry  him  far.  One  of  the  highest  compliments  we  can  pay 
him  is  that  we're  glad  to  be  with  him,  anytime,  anywhere.

THE  "Old  South,"  land  of  gentlemen,  contributed  one  of  its  best  when 
John  came  to  the  Academy.  A  soft  southern  drawl  and  a  courteous 
manner  have  gained  him  a  host  of  friends.  His  polished  oratory  and 
debating  have  won  him  honors  from  "Mem"  to  Mahan  Halls.  Thefemmes 
find  his  silver  tongue  and  winning  smile  irresistible,  but  he  has  never  yet 
been  known  to  lose  his  heart.  As  he  is  a  confirmed  snake,  Smoothie  John 
can  be  found  at  any  social  function.  Being  naturally  inclined  to  brilliance, 
he  is  ever  among  that  select  group  of  star  men.  The  many  puzzling  prob- 
lems which  he  has  solved  for  us  during  the  last  four  years  have  won  both 
our  admiration  and  gratitude.  We  like  the  thought  of  having  you  as  a

JOHN  is  the  perfect  roommate  and  friend.  His  only  vices  are  reading 
Esquire  and  living  in  Ohio  during  leaves.  Johnny  is  the  white  sheep 
of  the  Black  family  and  is  undoubtedly  the  most  vermillion  of  Red  Mikes. 
However,  he  never  gets  blue;  it's  his  indefinable  attitude  towards  life  that 
makes  him  look  cheerfully  on  the  system  he  is  always  trying  to  undermine. 
John  follows  amateur  radio  avidly  and  handles  a  fast  transmitting  key. 
He  appreciates  good  music  both  classical  and  swing.  The  "Iron  Man" -is 
capable  of  horrible  puns  and  grotesque  cartoons.  He  is  a  strong  football  fan 
and  sports  prophet  and  spends  his  spare  time  proving  Navy  can  beat  Army 
by  hundreds  of  points.  John's  perseverance  will  drive  him  to  success.  A 
real  specimen — that  man ! !

"wimpy"      "andy" 

VERSATILE  is  the  word  for  Andy.  Name  your  activity,  and  he  is 
right  there.  His  dynamic  energy  has  carried  his  talents  into  many 
fields  with  consistent  success.  A  star  tumbler  on  the  gym  team,  cheer 
leader,  and  artist  for  all  our  publications,  Wimpy  still  finds  time  between 
these  diversions  for  dragging  and,  occasionally,  boning,  although  to  him 
academics  are  just  a  necessary  evil  between  week-ends.  He  manages  to 
keep  ahead  of  the  Academic  Departments  with  little  effort.  One  of  his 
hobbies  is  cooking  up  methods  of  beating  the  system,  at  which  he  is  most 
adept.  His  sunny  disposition  and  ever-present  smile  have  won  him  count- 
less friends.  Andy  is  slated  for  the  top,  whether  in  the  service  or  civil  life.

SWORDFISH 


ONE  glance  by  the  inspecting  officer  at  Tag's  collection  of  femmes  on 
his  locker  door — grease  mark,  4.0.  Ted's  popularity  may  no  doubt 
be  ascribed  to  his  readiness  to  be  friendly  to  all,  his  ability  to  give  and 
take,  and  his  clever  tongue.  He  does  well  in  everything  he  undertakes.  A 
few  accomplishments:  Snake,  polished  dancer,  lover  of  jazz,  poker  player? 
— yes,  decidedly  an  athlete,  an  avid  reader  of  Cosmo  and  a  sound  sleeper 
when  he  should  be  studying,  one  who  utters  false  notes  only  when  he 
sings  but  who  can  call  the  first  false  note  he  hears,  a  bundle  of  pep  (note: 
Does  not  eat  spinach  or  Wheaties).  His  disagreements  with  the  Executive 
Department  led  him  to  learn  the  Ship  Squad  song,  and  he  is  proud  of  the 
black  N  star.  Postscript:  Swordfish  has  one  regret,  and  that  is  no  more 
teas  at  Carvel  Hall  on  Sunday  afternoons.

WHO  is  that  bashful  young  man  with  "the  skin  you  love  to  touch" 
and  that  raven  black  hair?  A  Lochinvar  from  the  mid-west — or 
perhaps  just  half  Lochinvar!  But,  when  you  see  that  sparkling  gleam  in 
his  eye,  it's  difficult  to  determine  whether  he's  thinking  of  his  one  among 
many  or — whether  he's  merely  entertaining  visions  of  some  rare  stamp! 
A  versatile  athlete,  he  is  a  fine  football  player,  he  boxes  well,  and  he's  a 
near  magnet  around  second  base.  Then  too  he  loves  music,  for  he  is  an 
accomplished  violinist.  You  may  always  rely  on  Mitch  to  give  everything 
he  has  to  any  task— a  real  spark-plug,  off  as  well  as  on  the  playing  field !

JOHN  THOMAS  BLAND,  III 

Boydton,  Virginia 
"jake"  "j.  t." 

A  TRUE  son  of  the  "Old  South" — that's  Jake.  Easy  going  and  amiable, 
_  he  would  like  to  take  his  ease  on  an  old  plantation  as  they  did  in 
the  pre-Civil  War  days;  since  that  was  impossible,  he  joined  the  service 
to  see  the  world.  When  he  entered,  the  wood  ticks  Host  a  man,  and  the 
Navy  gained  one,  and  a  good  one  at  that!  Trifles  bother  him  little  and 
academics  less,  as  he  takes  them  all  in  his  stride.  The  femmes  like  him 
and  vice  versa,  but  he  is  wary,  and  very  few  of  them  succeed  in  dragging 
with  him.  The  ability  to  make  friends,  an  even  temper,  and  extreme 
generosity  are  a  few  of  the  characteristics  that  will  take  him  far  in  what- 
ever direction  he  trains.

ELMER 


BRAIN  surgery  or  the  fleet?  This  question  once  had  our  Southern  friend 
guessing.  It  must  have  been  the  salt  air  and  sea  lore  that  won,  for 
the  Navy  now  claims  him.  Elmer  doesn't  have  much  trouble  with  his 
academics,  but  it  isn't  because  of  the  amount  of  time  he  spends  on  them. 
He  does  what  he  wants  to  when  he  wants  to  and  not  before.  He  has  his 
own  opinions,  and  once  his  mind  is  made  up  it  is  very,  very  hard  to  change. 
Possessing  a  rare  sense  of  humor,  Elmer  gets  a  big  kick  out  of  any  kind 
of  a  joke,  whether  on  him  or  on  the  other  fellow.  Above  all,  he  doesn't 
let  the  bitter  things  in  life  trouble  him— a  trait  that  should  take  him 
far  and  win  for  him  a  host  of  friends.

OSCAR 


TWO  years  at  Clemson  prepared  this  true  son  of  South  Carolina  for 
Academy  life,  and  he  has  weathered  the  academic  storm  without  too 
much  work  at  the  pumps.  He  is  a  real  plugger,  however,  when  the  average 
nears  a  2..  5.  A  jovial  influence  ever  since  the  poker  games  of  Plebe  Summer, 
Oscar  has  provided  us  with  many  a  needed  humorous  moment.  Although 
not  a  true  snake,  he  is  always  interested  in  the  proceeds  of  the  mail  detail, 
and  his  percentage  isn't  bad  at  all.  An  occasional  workout  on  the  sub 
squad,  a  good  snooze  anywhere  anytime,  a  study  hour  spent  doping  out  a 
football  pool,  a  show  on  Saturday,  and  a  drag  now  and  then  comprise 
the  extra-curricular  life  of  one  of  the  best  natured,  most  genial  of  midship- 
men. Happy  landings,  Dud!

"cee" 

SCION  of  a  sea-going  family,  Cecil  is  a  true  son  of  the  sea.  Like  all 
Navy  juniors,  he  has  been  around.  Although  he  is  not  a  misogynist, 
Cecil  has  no  peer  as  a  Red  Mike.  Academics — "Sheer  fruit,"  he  says, 
"Just  a  means  towards  an  end!"  With  a  little  extra  effort  he  could  have 
kept  his  Plebe  year  star;  but  athletics  caused  him  to  fall  short  of  the  3.4 
mark  after  Plebe  year.  Cecil  believes  in  getting  the  maximum  results  from 
a  minimum  of  effort.  He  has  all  of  the  "straight  dope"  on  navies.  If  you 
want  information  on  a  man-of-war,  just  ask  him.  Cecil's  unassuming 
friendliness  and  his  willingness  to  lend  a  pal  his  last  penny  will  make  him 
an  excellent  shipmate  and  a  splendid  friend.

"joe"  " george" 

HALE  and  hearty  from  the  Texas  plains,  George  stepped  into  the 
saddle  of  a  Naval  career  with  a  characteristic  desire  to  reach  the  top. 
Not  at  all  phased  by  the  Academic  or  Executive  Departments,  he  has 
taken  them  in  stride  at  the  start.  Doubtless,  he  is  one  of  the  best  story 
tellers  the  Navy  has  ever  seen;  that,  together  with  his  winning  personality 
and  ever-present  thoughtfulness  of  others,  makes  George  a  fine  friend  and 
a  pleasant  companion.  A  deep-rooted  respect  for  regulations  and  a  readi- 
ness to  tackle  any  kind  of  work  prove  that  he  has  chosen  the  right  career 
and  is  certain  to  be  a  credit  to  the  service.  Here's  a  prediction  that  our 
wandering  Texan  hits  the  top!

JOE 


ONE  look  at  Al's  locker  door  and  you  know  that  he  came  to  us  as  a 
true  son  of  the  Navy — such  a  concentration  of  feminine  pulchritude 
cannot  be  found  elsewhere  in  Bancroft  Hall.  However,  he  manages  to  find 
time  between  re-reading  especially  good  letters  from  the  honeys  and  pen- 
ning masterpieces  to  same,  to  take  the  off-side  of  any  argument  offered  or 
to  bang  away  at  a  white  pill  in  an  effort  to  bring  his  score  under  ninety. 
Truly,  a  fine  lad,  a  loyal  friend,  and  above  all  a  man  who,  in  spite  of  his 
many  and  varied  experiences,  still  believes  in  the  femmes.  Any  man  who 
can  make  such  a  belief  survive  four  years  at  the  Academy  can  certainly 
make  four  stars  in  the  fleet.

UNDOUBTEDLY  his  greatest  attribute  is  his  enviable  personality, 
that  elusive  charm  that  everyone  goes  through  life  striving  for,  but 
which  so  few  ever  attain.  His  bright  smile,  cheery  disposition,  and  wealth 
of  interesting  experiences  make  him  a  very  welcome  addition  to  any

the  fairer  sex.  In  all  his  undertakings  he  displays  an  enthusiasm  which 
is  contagious  to  all  around  him.  This,  coupled  with  his  winning  ways 
and  natural  ability,  is  assurance  that  he  is  certain  to  succeed,  and  the

SOME  attain  popularity  by  their  social  ability,  others  by  their  prowess 
on  the  field  of  sport.  It  is  for  us  here  to  tell  how  Wendy  attained  his. 
By  nature  quiet  and  unassuming,  he  possessed  that  noble  characteristic, 
so  seldom  seen  in  man,  of  never  talking  about  himself.  From  the  first  day 
we  saw  him,  way  back  in  those  Plebe  summer  days,  he  gained  an  undying 
popularity — the  reason — Wendy  is  a  man  among  men  and  a  gentleman 
among  women.  Speaking  of  the  women,  Wendy  tried  for  four  years  to  be 
one  of  those  grim-visaged  Red  Mikes,  but  he  never  quite  succeeded.  He 
liked  the  ladies  and  the  ladies,  liked  him.  We  don't  blame  them — we  liked 
him  too.

BUTCH 


QUIET  and  unassuming,  Burky  left  the  inland  city  of  Chicago  to 
answer  the  call  of  the  sea.  He  had  his  mind  set  upon  becoming  a 
naval  officer,  and,  with  that  resolution  which  is  peculiar  to  Butch, 
he  has  held  to  his  purpose  these  four  long  years  by  the  Severn.  Neither 
academics  nor  ladies  could  keep  him  from  the  gym,  where  his  favorite 
sport  was  boxing.  In  the  ring  or  out,  a  set  jaw  and  a  sparkle  in  his  eye 
betray  his  character.  He  has  a  weakness  for  music  and  is  a  musician  of 
parts.  One  of  the  main  stays  of  the  Boat  Club,  he's  a  good  hand  with  a 
sail.  He  will  do  equally  well  on  the  bridge.  He  has  already  gained  a 
reputation  as  a  fine  shipmate.

is  his  emerging  from  the  four-year  grind  with  a  smile.  He  is  a  fine  boxer 
and  likes  nothing  better  than  to  climb  into  the  ring  with  the  best  of 
them;  he  is  an  accomplished  sailor  being  skipper  of  the  Second  Batt  Ketch; 
and  last  he's  no  fair  weather  man — he'd  rather  battle  with  the  elements 
than  win  without  a  fight.  He  always  says  that  he  prefers  blondes,  but  his 
secret  passion  is  a  brunette!  Johnny  graduates  from  the  Naval  Academy

IOWA  agriculture  began  its  first  definite  up-swing  the  day  our  Willie 
laid  aside  the  plow,  "squished"  the  lush  loam  from  between  spread 
toes,  and  plodded  eastward.  This  pastoral  background  left  no  shyness  in 
Boob.  He  manages  to  keep  things  more  than  lively  in  any  surroundings. 
His  grand  passion  is  photography,  mostly  feminine.  Of  slightly  lesser 
note  come  Esquire's  Race  Track  clothes,  especially  purple  shirts,  fuzzy 
shoes,  and  complicated  suspenders;  feminine  correspondence;  Iowa  boost- 
ing; and  reducing.  His  ambition — the  Marines  and  terra  firma.  With  the 
Academic  Departments  Willie  never  has  cause  for  worry.  With  the  Execu- 
tive Department  the  same  cannot  be  said,  but  he  always  manages  to  slide 
through.  A  radiant  smile  and  a  greeting  shouted  two  blocks  away  will

land  of  sunshine  and  gayety  to  brave  the  Maryland  atmosphere.  A 
year  at  Texas  Teachers  and  a  store  of  good  common  sense  gave  Les  an 
initial  advantage  over  the  academics.  No  qualities  of  a  cutthroat,  a  will- 
ingness to  lend  a  helping  hand,  and  a  cheerful  personality  make  his  every 
acquaintance  a  friend.  Les  shows  excellent  form  in  the  boxing  ring,  plays 
a  good  game  of  tennis,  and  he  possesses  a  skill  in  sailing  outdone  only  by 
his  yarns  of  former  Texas  days.  An  easy  manner  and  a  southern  drawl 
contribute  to  his  popularity  with  the  fair  sex.  He  is  the  staunch  friend  of 
all  his  classmates  and  will  smile  his  way  through  life  regardless  of  the 
odds  against  him.  May  good  luck  and  success  attend  his  efforts!!

WILLIAM  AUGUSTUS  HASLER,  JR. 
Baltimore,  Maryland 


NEMO 


FOUNDED  on  a  line  of  Math  savoirs  hailing  from  the  Swiss  highlands, 
imbued  with  a  strong  sense  of  personal  honor,  gifted  with  an  unfailing 
sense  of  humor,  flavored  with  the  salt  of  the  Chesapeake,  and  finished 
with  a  blonde  head  and  an  ever-present  smile,  you  have  Baltimore's  naval 
son.  Bill  shows  the  influence  of  his  life-long  association  with  the  sea  by 
his  knowledge  of  its  ways,  his  accomplished  stroke  in  the  pool,  and  his 
able  handling  of  sail  and  tiller.  His  "snakish"  tendencies  and  willingness 
to  give  succor  to  the  wooden  have  robbed  him  of  stars,  but  he  has  caused 
many  a  femme's  heart  to  flutter  and  has  become  Tecumseh's  right-hand 
man  in  aiding  the  anchor  sections.  His  ability,  loyalty,  and  buoyant  nature 
will  be  a  valuable  addition  to  the  service.

THOMAS  HOWLE  SUDDATH 

Savannah,  Georgia 

"tom" 

FROM  the  Southland  came  this  easy-going  gentleman.  Since  then  Tom 
has  made  a  host  of  friends  and  has  gained  their  respect,  for  he's  a 
man's  man.  His  favorite  pastimes  have  always  been  cleaning  up  his  room 
after  breakfast  and  boning  after  supper,  and  it  was  always  with  great 
wonder  that  we  noted  the  marvelous  zeal  which  accompanied  these  tasks. 
Although  he  was  a  perpetual  devotee  of  "caulking  off,"  he  was  always 
to  be  found  in  the  afternoons  working  in  one  of  Buck  Walsh's  shells  on 
the  Severn.  After  a  good  fight  with  the  Steam  Department,  Tom  has 
crashed  through  well  ahead  of  all  the  academics.  His  six  feet  plus  made 
him  a  leading  guide  of  the  fourth  company,  and  anyone  who  has  seen 
him  in  this  position  at  a  parade  will  agree  that  Uncle  Sam  will  someday 
have  a  trim  officer-of-the-deck.

FROM  up  in  Yankeeland  this  gentleman  came  to  us,  small  in  stature 
but  ready  for  and  eagerly  looking  forward  to  a  salty  career  in  Uncle 
Sam's  Navy.  By  nature,  a  determined  fighter,  Plebe  year  found  him  in  the 
gym  putting  on  the  gloves  with  the  best  of  them.  Characterized  inwardly 
by  an  underlying  seriousness  and  idealism  and  outwardly  by  an  indefatig- 
able industry,  he  has  emerged  "the  tops"  in  all  the  academics.  His  gracious 
manner  has  made  him  many  friends  because,  whether  it  be  to  help  a 
classmate  pull  sat  or  to  lend  him  some  money  to  drag  on,  Roger  is  more 
than  willing.  His  three  greatest  ambitions  right  now  are  to  finish  the 
model  ship  he  has  begun,  to  collect  all  the  stamps  he  can  from  British 
Colonies,  and  to  become  an  officer  in  the  Navy.  Here's  luck  to  you,  Rog!

"fitz"  "joe" 

THE  strength  of  the  ship  is  the  service,  and  the  strength  of  the  service, 
the  submarine."  That  is  Fitz's  motto,  and  nothing  will  satisfy  him 
until  he  is  skipper  of  a  new  pigboat.  At  first  sight  one  wonders  how 
many  years  of  military  training  Fitz  has  had,  for  his  brace  is  something 
at  which  to  marvel.  Yet  once  inside  his  room,  the  pride  of  Massachusetts 
throws  caution  to  the  winds  and  becomes  a  regular  fun-loving  roommate. 
Naturally  a  savoir,  Fitz  has  not  found  the  course  too  hard  and  always 
finds  time  for  his  fan  mail,  cross  country  work,  and  choral  activities. 
"All  Navy"  is  perhaps  the  best  definition  of  Fitz,  and  the  Navy  will  soon 
find  that  it  has  received  a  thorough  and  efficient  officer.

JOHN  is  the  one  in  a  million  who  always  takes  the  situation  as  he 
finds  it,  and,  always  taking  more  than  half  the  burden  and  sharing 
everything  that  is  his,  he  is  certain  to  pull  out.  Could  one  find  a  better 
fellow  officer  than  that?  There  is  no  finer  man.  John  is  a  coming  tennis 
player,  and  it  is  well-known  the  fight  he  displays  at  the  proper  time — 
no  one  is  too  large  for  John,  and,  from  many  observations  of  him  while 
under  fire,  we  know  that  his  courage  is  unbounded.  As  the  finest  of  traits, 
we  recognize  John's  ability  to  pursue  his  ideal  of  right.  Preferring  neither 
smoke  nor  drink  and  always  the  perfect  gentleman,  he  is  certain  to  be  an 
exceptional  officer.

RAYMOND  GEORGE  GAVLAK 

Cleveland  Heights,  Ohio 
"gavvy"  "sunshine" 

FROM  the  windswept  avenues  of  Cleveland,  Ray  came  to  join  the 
Class  of  '38.  Although  he's  always  ranked  well  among  the  savoirs, 
academics  to  him  were  something  just  to  be  tolerated.  However,  Ray  is 
entirely  capable  and,  with  the  proper  incentive,  is  certain  of  going  far. 
He's  always  been  an  enthusiastic  advocate  of  a  good,  healthy  workout 
every  day — for  others!  Nevertheless,  he's  been  a  tireless  worker  on  the 
Log  staff  and  the  Christmas  Card  Committee.  Not  exactly  a  Red  Mike, 
Ray  has  dragged  rarely — but  4.0's — yes,  cold  4.0's!  Personal  qualities  of 
sincerity,  frankness,  and  a  keen  sense  of  humor  make  him  a  good  pal  and 
a  real  friend.  Wherever  you  go  and  whatever  you  do,  Ray,  we're  wishing 
you  the  best  of  luck.

schu 


COMING  to  the  Naval  Academy  with  high  ambition,  Vince  has  made 
a  go  of  this  first  part  of  service  life.  The  making  of  a  naval  officer 
has,  of  course,  been  paramount,  but  Hubbard  Hall  and  crew  have  called 
forth  more  sacrifices,  effort,  and  fidelity  than  the  routine  of  academics 
and  drills.  After  a  nip-and-tuck  battle  through  the  early  season,  one  trial 
under  fire  in  the  Plebe  boat  proved  to  Buck  Walsh  that  Schu  was  varsity 
material.  In  the  few  short  months  which  his  sport  allows  him,  he  drags 
bricks  and  forties  with  a  willingness  to  oblige,  sight  unseen.  Every  week- 
end is  concluded  with,  "Never  again,"  but  look  for  him  at  the  next  hop. 
Mav  fortune  attend  his  efforts  in  the  time  to  come!

Springfield,  Massachusetts 
"duck"  "d.  J." 

WE  never  could  figure  out  whether  the  hamburger-loving  smoothie 
is  easily  excitable  or  is  just  enthusiastic  about  little  things.  Duck 
has  more  than  broken  even  with  the  Academic  Departments  and  has  a 
knack  for  outwitting  the  Executive  Department.  He  exercises  his  talents 
in  soccer,  basketball,  and  tennis.  He's  the  pal  of  all  his  brothers  in  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  across  the  great  walls.  Duck  practically  never  drags  to 
hops;  yet  he  never  misses  one.  However,  you  will  not  see  him  in  the  stag 
line.  He  invariably  gets  a  five  page  letter  the  following  Monday  from  some 
girl  to  whom  he  has  been  introduced.  Duck  has  a  keen  sense  of  humor,  a 
most  contagious  smile,  and  a  cheery  word  for  everyone.  With  Dame 
Fortune  riding  beside  him,  he  should  be  a  big  success  with  his  Navy 
wings.  Best  of  luck,  Dan!

LOUD  and  authoritative  commands  are  heard  in  the  corridor — "Square

that  somewhere  in  the  near  vicinity  a  Plebe  is  hastening  to  obey.  One  of 
the  squarest  men  in  the  Academy,  Rover  has  continually  proved  his  ability 
to  become  an  excellent  officer — even  if  it  is  going  to  be  in  the  Marine 
Corps.  He  never  says  much,  but  he  thinks  a  lot.  When  he  does  talk,  he 
has  something  to  say,  and  those  of  us  that  know  him  as  we  do,  usually 
consider  it  worth  while  to  listen.  Rover's  cheerful  nature  and  ready  smile, 
dominating  personality,  and  natural  leadership  ability  will  make  him  a. 
valuable  asset  to  any  organization.

HARRY  BARTON  STOTT

SPENDING  part  of  his  boyhood  in  New  Mexico  playing  with  Gila 
monsters  and  rattlesnakes,  later  moving  to  Delaware,  Harry  arrived 
in  our  midst  via  the  Governor  Albert  C.  Ritchie.  As  a  life  guard  he  must 
have  acquired  his  winning  ways,  especially  with  the  fairer  sex.  At  any 
rate  his  position  is  fixed  among  the  snakes.  In  the  fall  Harry  is  always 
ready  for  a  game  of  football,  in  winter  for  basketball,  but  in  the  spring 
he's  throwing  the  horsehide  over  at  Lawrence  Field.  Although  lacking 
in  his  share  of  nicknames,  he  is  known  by  some  as  cutthroat,  but,  judging 
from  academics,  you  would  never  guess  it.  An  excellent  wife,  always 
willing  to  do  his  share,  and  a  better  friend.  Here's  wishing  you  the  best 
of  luck,  Harry,  and  a  successful  career.

JIM  first  saw  daylight  among  the  honeysuckle  and  red-clay  hills  of

chubby  but  not  so  tall.  West  Point  was  his  first  love,  but  an  An- 
napolis appointment  changed  his  mind,  and  we  gained  an  able  sandblower 
at  the  Point's  expense.  A  good  card  game  or  athletic  contest  always 
interests  Jimmy,  but  he  must  have  that  "toasted  cheese  and  root  beer" 
after  the  game.  Claiming  to  be  a  Red  Mike,  Jim  seldom  drags,  but  we've 
noticed  how  eagerly  he  reads  those  letters  in  red  which  come  so  regularly. 
Achey  loves  a  good  argument.  Just  try  and  tell  him  the  North  won  the

CHARLIE 


THE  fertile  fields  of  Ohio  lost  their  favorite  son  when  Charlie  turned 
his  thoughts  seaward.  Academics  and  Charlie  have  come  to  grips  at 
times,  but  he  has  never  failed  to  come  bounding  back  with  a  smile  that 
bodes  ill  for  any  study  that  opposes  him.  Two  sports  are  Charlie's,  tennis 
and  dragging.  Any  sunny  day  will  find  him  tearing  around  the  clay  and 
lime,  and  any  moonlight  night  will  find  him  at  Dahlgren  Hall.  Without 
a  doubt  he  has  what  it  takes — witness  the  Assistants  staggering  into  the 
room  with  his  mail.  His  liveliness  and  humor,  his  tolerance  and  under- 
standing make  him  an  ideal  pal.  Since  he  will  argue  vigorously,  inex- 
haustively,  and  in  favor  of  anything  west  of  the  East  Coast,  here's  hoping 
we'll  soon  see  him  out  there.

Cumberland,  Maryland 

"goonoph" 

EARLY  in  life  Grant  set  his  heart  upon  becoming  a  naval  officer. 
Since  the  summer  of  1934,  he  has  been  doing  a  good  job  of  making 
that  ambition  a  reality.  His  quiet  manner,  frankness,  and  congeniality 
have  won  him  many  friends,  who  will  long  remember  his  witticisms 
embellished  now  and  then  by  some  of  his  inexhaustible  supply  of  puns. 
Not  being  backward  in  the  presence  of  the  more  deadly  of  the  species, 
Grant  has  done  his  share  of  dragging.  You  will  find  him  equally  adept 
as  an  opponent  in  tennis  or  as  a  fourth  at  bridge.  With  few  rare  exceptions 
academics  have  been  of  no  great  concern.  Collier's,  Cosmo,  and  letters 
have  all  claimed  their  spare  moments.  Good  luck,  Iquaty!  May  we  soon

RUBE  hails  from  the  land  of  two  extremes,  frozen  winters  and  Swedish 
_  women.  His  personality  was  so  overwhelming  that  he  had  to  make 
tracks  from  Minnesota.  "It's  hard,"  says  Rube,  "to  outrun  those  outdoor 
girls."  Of  course,  he  has  a  slight  tendency  toward  exaggeration,  but  he 
can  still  outstep  any  female  in  the  country  if  he  sees  one  coming  his  way. 
Bancroft  Hall  guarantees  female  non-intervention,  but  where  is  the  elbow 
room?  Rube  gave  vent  to  his  feelings  by  joining  those  particular  squads 
for  energetic  young  men,  and  he  even  starred  in  "sub-squading"  and 
'  'extra-dutying, ' '  but  his  thoughts  are  out  yonder  with  the  Foreign  Legion, 
and  some  day  he  plans  to  visit  the  Amazon,  where  men  are  mosquiro- 
bitten  and  women  die  young.  It  might  be  said  that  Rube  is  a  kind-hearted 
and  energetic  soul.  He  has  already  promised  his  first  million  to  charity. 


JAMES  AARON  MASTERSON

"jim"  "monk" 

OUR  story  begins  when  Jim,  tired  of  being  a  mechanic,  passed  a  Navy 
poster  and  decided  to  see  the  lesser  world  unhampered  by  the  dust. 
It  took  all  of  two  years  of  a  hardy  seaman's  life  to  convince  Jim  that 
hammocks  were  far  worse  than  beds,  whereupon  he  persuaded  himself  to 
join  the  inmates  of  Annapolis.  J.  A.,  the  worst  card  player  in  the  regiment, 
is  just  one  of  the  boys,  being  a  stellar  member  of  both  the  radiator  and 
sub  squads.  Jim  does  most  of  his  twenty-four  hour  day  sleeping  with  his 
head  on  a  text  book,  preferably  the  fifth  edition  of  Captain  Benjamin 
Dutton's  masterpiece.  He  has  earned  a  place  among  the  great  Navy  ath- 
letes by  holding  down  a  crowded  position  on  the  varsity  sub-squad.  His 
not  too  badly-mistreated  roommate  believes,  however,  that  Jim  should 
be  given  a  medal  for  being  a  great  wife  for  the  past  four  years.

EVERETT  ALAN  TRICKEY 
Pendleton,  Oregon 


QUIET,  slow  to  make  friends,  but  keeping  them  well,  Trickey  fits  the 
Navy  as  the  Navy  fits  the  sea.  Reading,  writing,  and  sleeping  have 
been  his  recreations,  though  he  has  twice  departed  from  them  to  try 
football.  During  a  study  hour  he  could  have  been  found  reading  the  latest 
book-of-the-month,  writing  an  answer  to  one  of  the  pack  of  letters  that 
the  Assistant  had  just  dropped,  or  sleeping.  Academics,  hard  as  they 
might  be,  interested  but  did  not  worry  him.  Nothing  pleased  him  better 
than  the  correct  solution  to  a  hard  problem,  unless  it  was  a  friendly  argu- 
ment won  through  clever  reasoning.  Those  who  know  him  find  that  his 
friendship,  like  fine  cloth,  wears  well. 


HEROLD  JAMES  WEILER,  JR. 
Wichita  Falls,  Texas 


POSSESSING  that  Texan  confidence,  Hank  used  his  smile,  his  head, 
and  his  eyes  to  warm  his  way  into  friendship,  through  studies,  and 
around  his  string  of  extra-curricular  activities.  Languages  presented  a  little 
difficulty  Plebe  year;  after  that  academics  were  clear  sailing.  As  for  hobbies, 
all  hands  put  their  best  gadgets  out  of  sight  when  this  Texas  engineer  took 
the  field;  he  liked  to  rebuild  on  a  large  scale.  His  wife  has  been  the  silent 
recipient  of  much  excess  Steam,  the  companion  of  many  a  happy  liberty, 
and  the  "other  son"  of  grandparents,  who  have  done  much  to  make 
Eastern  exile  more  endurable.  The  midshipman  has  taken  pride  in  his 
work  and  his  appearance  without  adopting  the  attitude  of  a  cut-throat. 
The  friend  shall  remain  forever.

bob 


BOB  came  down  from  New  England  with  a  determination  to  follow 
in  his  father's  footsteps.  Being  a  Navy  junior,  he  understood  life,  as 
lived  at  the  Naval  Academy.  He  was  not  to  be  worried — he  jumped  each 
hurdle  as  he  came  to  it.  At  times  Bob  thought  the  academics  had  him 
bluffed,  especially  Dago,  but  by  applying  pressure  at  the  crucial  moments 
he  was  able  to  stay  one  up  on  them.  He  is  an  ardent  admirer  of  feminine 
beauty  but  swears  he  won't  marry  until  he  is  a  lieutenant.  His  motto: 
"When  falling,  shift  drags."  Bob  is  a  great  athlete  and  a  great  friend. 
The  Navy  will  gain  an  officer  well-grounded  in  the  fundamentals  of  Navy 
life,  with  knowledge,  and  with  the  fiery  ambition  to  make  good.

DICK 


SOUTH  Carolina  lost  one  of  its  best  citizens  when  Gravy  packed  his 
suitcase  and  decided  to  become  one  of  Uncle  Sam's  "pampered  pets." 
When  not  driving  the  county  school  bus  or  playing  football,  Gravy  spent 
his  time  hunting  deer  (dear).  He  has  some  marvelous  yarns  to  spin  about 
his  hunting.  Maybe  it  was  his  desire  to  show  the  Navy  something  about 
the  art  of  shooting  that  brought  him  to  us.  He  is  really  not  a  blood- 
thirsty fellow,  but  is,  on  the  contrary,  one  of  the  most  good-natured  men 
in  the  class.  He  has  a  ready  "Howdy"  and  smile  for  every  one.  No  truer 
or  better  friend  could  be  found.  We  hope  Gravy  will  always  remember 
the  friendships  formed  here,  for  certainly  none  of  us  will  forget  him.

CHARLIE 


THE  kind  that  gets  places  because  he's  good — that's  Don.  There's 
nothing  superfluous  about  him,  just  that  quiet  determination  of 
character  that  spells  success.  His  uncanny  ability  to  make  friends  will 
always  be  one  of  his  greatest  assets.  But  all  these  fine  qualities  don't  make 
Don  inhuman  or  prudish.  In  fact,  if  you're  ever  in  need  of  a  few  side-ticklers 
to  chase  the  blues  away,  just  call  on  him.  The  road  hasn't  been  very  easy 
for  old  C.  D.  He's  had  quite  a  few  hard  blows,  but  he  met  them  with  a 
smile  and  a  set  chin — and  when  he  sets  that  chin,  it's  set!  Handicapped 
by  light  weight,  he  has  made  his  mark  by  tugging  all  the  harder  on  that 
blade.  He  tugs  at  life  equally  hard,  and,  watch,  he'll  make  his  mark  again!

A  QUIET,  unassuming  air  seems  to  dominate  Ham  at  first  sight,  but  he 
.  later  flashes  a  devil-may-care  attitude  that  has  made  and  cheered 
many  friends.  The  Golden  Rule  is  the  backbone  of  the  ideals  he  cher- 
ishes and  lives.  Unasked  for  favors — like  making  his  wife's  bed  when  he's 
on  along  watch — he's  been  a  peerless  wife  and  friend.  A  savoir  without 
half-trying,  he  found  academics  his  easiest  work.  Nor  was  he  a  slouch  in 
athletics,  for  afternoons  found  him  out  fighting  with  a  pigskin  under  his 
arm  or  brandishing  a  lacrosse  stick.  His  weaknesses :  Spending  all  his  spare 
cash  for  the  latest,  popular  phonograph  records,  and  missing  regular  meals 
to  insure  sufficient  room  for  food  between  them.

POSSUM 


SUNNY  California  has  long  been  sending  handsome  young  men  to  the 
Naval  Academy — Alec  is  no  exception.  He  left  the  western  shores  for 
Annapolis,  and  not  without  the  call  of  the  sea  in  his  heart.  "Naw!  I  don't 
want  to  drag.  I'm  a  Red  Mike.  I  gotta'  bone."  Yet  all  the  hops  find  a 
bubbling  countenance  pouring  sweet  nothing  into  the  ear  of  some  young 
femme — and,  oh,  how  they  love  it!  Alec  is  an  idealist.  He's  the  kind 
that's  good;  yet  constantly  gets  better.  Four  years  of  joys  and  sorrows 
amid  the  back-breaking  routine  of  the  Academy  have  not  changed  him. 
Undaunted,  sympathetic,  smiling,  he  always  gives  his  best.  "Star  boat 
number  '38  secured,  sir — no  casualties."  It  will  always  be  this  way  with 
Alec.

WHY  the  South  has  more  beautiful  women — ."  "And  the  damn- 
yankees  ran  so  fast — ."  "Now  that's  good  music — that's  opera!" 
Always  at  ease  in  slothful  indolence,  he's  eternally  late  to  everything 
everywhere.  Lean  and  agile,  clever — but  he  wears  no  stars  and  boasts 
no  N,  for  his  Southern  temperament  exacts  of  him  nothing  that  smacks 
of  labor.  Yes,  he's  loved — and  lost!  Ah!  and  loved  again!  A  typical  bust: 
Long  ago,  as  a  Plebe,  he  lost  his  overshoes  in  the  maddening  Saturday 
tangle  at  the  Circle  only  to  "frap"  on  Youngster  Cruise  for  resurrecting 
them  from  the  Arky's  Lucky  Bag.  Wrought  of  the  steel  that  men  are 
made  of,  blessed  with  the  charm  of  a  true  gentleman,  and  endowed  with 
the  abilities  of  a  gallant  officer,  he's  locked  in  our  hearts  forever.

a  social  lion,  and  it  is  very  seldom  that  he  is  not  seen  at  a  hop  escort-

earn  grades  which  any  man  might  envy.  His  favorite  sport  is  crew,  but 
he  often  finds  time  to  knock  off  a  mere  thousand  yards  in  the  natatorium. 
After  all  is  said,  his  most  outstanding  ability  lies  in  the  field  of  music, 
and  for  four  years  he  has  been  a  formidable  member  of  the  choir  and  glee 
club.  With  such  a  variety  of  talents  Bogie  is  sure  to  succeed,  and  we  all 
wish  him  the  best  of  luck  in  his  future  undertakings.

Woodcliff  Lake,  New  Jersey 
"fred"  "denny" 

IF  a  job  is  to  be  done  that  requires  careful  thought,  determination,  and 
perseverance,  Fred  is  the  man  to  whom  it  should  be  assigned;  for  once 
he  starts  to  do  a  thing  he  will  work  on  it  with  that  hard-driving  resolution 
which  he  has  continually  shown  during  his  four  years  at  the  Academy. 
Although  he  stands  exceptionally  high  in  his  class,  he  has  managed  to 
do  it  with  a  minimum  of  effort.  In  athletics,  he  has  devoted  most  of  his 
time  to  boxing  and  the  sub  squad,  but  he  shows  ability  in  several  sports. 
In  social  life,  he  is  just  as  steady  as  he  is  with  his  books,  for  his  week-ends 
are  usually  monopolized  by  one  lady  who  entertains  a  sincere  interest  in 
Freddy.  His  facility  for  building  friendships,  his  pleasant  personality,  and 
his  ability  to  do  things  in  the  right  way  should  bring  him  to  the  top  in 
the  service.

JOE  is  known  by  all  for  his  rollicking  sense  of  humor.  He  laughed  his 
way  through  Plebe  year,  and  he's  still  able  to  laugh  off  the  buffetings 
of  the  system.  But  then  he  has  a  serious  side  that  has  held  on  to  all  the 
ambitions  and  ideals  that  most  of  us  wish  we  had.  As  a  wife,  he's  tops. 
He  always  has  plenty  of  those  little  details  you  forget  to  requisition.  His 
native  intelligence  enables  him  to  be  savvy  without  being  a  cut-throat. 
Never  a  big  athlete,  Joe  is  a  born  scrapper,  and  he  never  undertakes  any- 
thing half-heartedly.  We  believe  that  when  Joe  graduates  the  fleet  will 
be  getting  a  competent,  sincere  officer  with  enough  sense  of  humor  to 
make  life  with  him  worth  living.

spending  a  quiet  evening  at  home,  Jim  obliges  with  an  excellent  game  of 
bridge  or  an  invulnerable  game  of  chess.  He  likes  football  and  boxing.  At 
hops  he  prefers  blondes,  then  brunettes,  and  finally  redheads,  but  one 
little  brunette  at  home  quickly  makes  him  forget  the  rest.  Good-natured, 
easy-going,  savvy,  and  thoroughly  likable — that's  my  wife!

in  quick  succession  came  Marye,  Ruth,  Sally,  Anne,  and  Peggy.  Johnny 
understands  mathematical  induction,  helped  write  the  Ordnance  book, 
thinks  Calculus  and  Juice  are  fun.  In  fact,  John  says  Thermo  was  his 
easiest  subject,  but  Dago  brought  his  lowest  mark.  Have  you  heard  John 
sing?  He  solos  in  chapel,  plays  in  musical  shows,  and  makes  a  scintillating

enjoy  verbal  scraps  wherein  sides  change  at  the  slightest  provocation? 
Then  you're  qualified  to  live  with  the  Admiral.  Doing  so,  you  would 
find  him  equally  ready  to  relieve  financial  tension  or  mis-manage  love 
affairs.  In  his  lighter  moments,  he  "hops,"  collects  lipstick,  and  solemnly 
judges  feminine  fashions  and  pulchritude.  When  serious,  the  little  fellow 
wrestles  well,  showers  troubles  and  subscriptions  on  a  defenceless  Log 
staff,  stars  in  Dago,  and  airily  ignores  the  remaining  Academic  Depart-

THIS  six-footer  trekked  out  of  the  hills  of  Tennessee  with  a  determin- 
ation to  make  a  success  in  the  Navy.  His  common  sense  and  ability 
to  apply  it  to  academic  problems  have  kept  Jack  out  of  trouble  with  the 
academic  departments.  Athletic  abilities  are  lacking  except  for  an  oc- 
casional struggle  with  the  rope  climb  or  a  dash  around  the  track.  His 
greatest  weakness — blondes;  however,  redheads  and  brunettes  will  do.  An 
easy  Southern  drawl  and  a  pleasing  disposition  make  Jack  one  who  makes 
friends  and  keeps  them.  For  a  roommate  there  is  none  better.  With  his 
alertness,  imagination,  and  ability  there  is  nothing  but  success  for  him 
in  the  fleet  or  whatever  other  work  he  may  choose !

GEORGE,  the  stubborn  scrapper  from  Arkansas,  was  steered  by  the

proved  a  better  boxer.  As  a  friend  he  is  a  dependable,  sympathetic,  under- 
standing, and  entertaining  pal.  A  snake  at  heart,  he's  been  conquered  by  a 
charming  Arkansas  maid.  Though  our  trails  may  part,  we  will  always

FROM  the  wind-swept  prairies  of  North  Dakota  (the  roaring  in  his

comes  the  Deacon,  a  reformer  at  heart,  spontaneous  in  his  expression, 
confirmed  in  his  cynicism.  He  knows  and  appreciates  good  literature,  and 
the  pen  in  Heydon's  hand  is  as  mighty  as  the  sword  of  his  outspoken 
opinions,  which  are  not  without  versatility  in  their  foundations.  During 
Youngster  year  we  finally  submitted  to  his  piccolo  and  flute,  though 
fortunately  he  did  most  of  his  practicing  with  the  orchestra.  Credit  where 
credit  is  due,  however;  Heydon  can  really  make  the  music  go  round.  As  a 
wife,  suffice  it  to  say  the  Deacon  has  put  up  with  a  lot.  As  a  man,  he's 
been  interesting,  subtly  humorous,  helpful.  Here's  to  you,  Deacon!

FROM  out  of  the  Golden  West  came  this  five-foot  edition  of  the  St.

quite  naturally  took  his  place  among  the  sandblowers.  There  he  went, 
and  there  he's  stayed  to  this  day.  But  a  clear  head  rests  on  this  small 
foundation.  A  keen,  deliberate  mind  and  a  smooth,  sure-speaking  manner 
are  Ed's  most  obvious  characteristics.  Athletically,  our  miniature  Atlas 
likes  the  wrestling  mat  and  swimming  pool.  Academically,  he  has  man- 
aged to  stand  well  up  and  yet  find  time  for  a  surprising  amount  of  outside 
reading.  Socially,  he  tends  toward  blondes,  brunettes,  and  redheads;  but 
he  stags  and  drags  with  equal  adeptness.  Four  years  of  companionship 
have  proved  to  be  four  years  of  loyalty  and  friendship.  A  successful  future 
lies  before  vou,  Edward  Everett!!

THE  success  of  the  Navv  depends  upon  the  determination  of  its  officers

purpose,  both  of  which  will  send  him  far  in  his  chosen  career.  Although 
his  collar  is  not  adorned  with  stars,  he  has  always  managed  to  have  plenty 
of  velvet  with  little  effort.  In  athletics  Bill  has  taken  his  fencing  as 
seriously  as  Nelson  took  his  strategy,  and  with  equal  success.  He  is  neither 
a  snake  nor  a  Red  Mike  but  seems  to  be  the  happy  medium.  Thank  you, 
Bill,  for  a  pleasant,  happy,  and  never-to-be-forgotten  four  years,  and  may 
your  life  bring  you  every  blessing  and  happiness.

JAMES  FRANKLIN  ELLIS,  JR. 

Augusta,  Georgia 
"frank"  "bucky" 

FROM  Georgia?  Yes — but  not  in  the  least  sentimental  about  it.  Frank 
came  in  with  a  clean  slate  as  far  as  the  fairer  sex  was  concerned  and 
has  kept  it  so  despite  several,  dangerous  onslaughts.  He  is  blessed  with 
one  of  those  minds  that  require  little  coaxing  to  procure  all  the  knowledge 
that  books  can  offer.  Little  study  and  plenty  of  sleep,  but  still  he  stands 
at  the  top  of  the  class.  The  sub-squad  and  an  occasional  game  of  tennis 
make  up  his  athletic  routine.  When  he's  not  busy  with  these,  you  can 
usually  find  this  loyal  son  of  the  sea  building  or  sailing  boats.  His  quiet 
and  easy  manner,  always  ready  to  stem  the  tide,  has  won  him  many  friends, 
and  it  will  not  fail  him  in  the  time  to  come.

"kagey"  "keene" 

WHY  Kagey  left  South  Carolina  for  the  Navy  is  still  a  mystery, 
but  why  worry?  Carolina's  loss  was  our  gain.  He  has  all  the 
qualities  of  a  good  officer  plus  a  few  doubtful  ones  such  as  snoring  and 
overlooking  exams.  A  decided  snake,  he  never  misses  a  hop;  so  of  course 
he  was"  in  his  heaven  Second  Class  Summer.  Like  all  the  rest  of  us,  Keene 
has  had  his  troubles  with  the  academics,  but  in  the  final  averages  he  always 
came  out  near  the  top.  Although  slightly  inclined  towards  the  radiator 
squad,  he  has  taken  a  try  at  several  extra-curricular  activities  and  didn't 
fare  so  badly  at  small-bore  rifle.  His  good  nature  is  bound  to  bless  him 
with  friends  and  happiness  wherever  his  duties  may  take  him.

MONK 


NORM  came  to  the  Naval  Academy  from  Maryland.  His  Academy 
career  has  been  far  from  an  empty  one.  He  has  done  his  part  both 
athletically  and  socially.  He  can  swing  a  lacrosse  stick  with  the  best  of 
them,  and  hardly  an  afternoon  passes  in  the  spring  that  he  isn't  hard  at  it 
on  Worden  Field.  On  hop  nights  Norm  is  seldom  absent  from  Dahlgren. 
He  has  the  inherent  aptitude  for  making  friends.  His  studies  do  not  worry 
him  as  a  whole,  although  at  times  he  gets  a  bit  exasperated  with  "Parlez- 
vous?"  His  one  weakness  is  his  singing.  Often  he  may  be  heard  using  his 
somewhat  questionable  vocal  talent.  On  the  whole  Monk  has  taken  full 
advantage  of  his  opportunities,  and,  without  a  doubt,  his  genial  good- 
nature and  cool  poise  will  take  him  far.

Haddonfield,  New  Jersey 
"bill"  "  willie" 

BILL  embarked  upon  his  naval  career  with  a  clear  conception  of  what 
was  ahead  of  him.  Graduating  from  Haddonfield  High,  he  elaborated 
on  the  "three  R's"  under  the  tutelage  of  Commander  Cochran;  so  aca- 
demics are  "fruit"  for  him,  but  starring  is  not  Bill's  big  objective.  Tennis, 
football,  and  basketball  are  his  big  weaknesses,  and  his  accomplishments 
on  the  Plebe  and  Battalion  squads  are  substantial  accounts  of  his  effort. 
Bill  is  a  good  mixer;  so  he  is  as  popular  with  the  fair  sex  as  he  is  with  his 
classmates.  The  pictures  in  his  locker  and  his  correspondence  testify  to 
this  fact.  Bill  has  been  a  good  friend  and  roommate.  With  a  sense  of  humor 
that  never  lets  him  down  and  a  modesty  that  is  real,  Bill  is  a  man's  man 
and  a  man's  friend — a  true  shipmate  and  a  credit  to  the  service  that  he 
loves.  May  well-merited  success  ever  be  his!

THE  Merchant  Marine  and  then  the  Navy  gave  Tex  a  suspicion  that

have  served  only  to  prove  his  hunch  correct.  Although  quick  to  take

Cosmo  is  infinitely  superior  to  Nav.  Professing  a  dislike  for  hops,  Saturday

nothing  too  seriously,  Tex  finds  life  an  interesting  if  somewhat  baffling

FROM  way  down  South,  Bill  brought  his  sunny  smile  to  brighten  our 
four  years  here.  Although  having  a  strong  tendency  to  quietness,  this 
modest  young  man  possesses  such  a  number  of  deep,  hidden  qualities  that 
all  those  who  know  him  swear  by  him.  A  true  friend,  who  has  often 
endangered  his  own  welfare  in  the  interests  of  a  kindred  spirit,  a  living 
example  of  Marcus  Aurelius's  belief  that  'Manners  are  the  better  part  of

with  equally  sonorous  fade-outs  on  the  bunk.  Others  may  spend  more 
time  in  this  last-named  sport,  but  no  one  derives  more  pleasure  from  it 
than  our  Jughaid.  A  good  wife  who  hardly  murmurs  over  parting  with

Although  always  ready  to  drag  for  a  classmate  or  friend,  he  was  never  a

have  held  no  great  interest  for  him,  but  he  does  have  a  real  passion  for

WALTER  LOWRY  SMALL,  JR. 
Elizabeth  City,  North  Carolina 
"walt"  "groundhog" 

ACADEMICS  had  never  been  difficult  for  Walt;  had  he  worked  harder 
xA.  here  he  might  have  been  outstanding;  for  his  proficiency  in  the 
engineering  courses  was  marked.  Yet  in  his  idler  hours  we  knew  him 
best — whether  at  cribbage,  blackjack,  or  over  a  stag  sandwich  at  the 
"Spoon."  Speeding  back  from  Baltimore  in  a  vain  attempt  to  get  in  under 
the  deadline,  or  dragging  to  the  hops,  he  was  the  ideal  companion.  He 
consistently  refuted  Bacon  by  taking  his  literature  in  one  form, The  Reader's 
Digest,  but  his  main  diversion  was  wrestling.  Now  at  the  parting  of  the 
ways  we  look  back  on  four  very  pleasant  years  with  him.  As  for  the 
future,  equipped  with  a  practical  intelligence  and  keen  personality,  he  is 
bound  to  succeed.  So,  goodbye,  Tarheel,  and  good  luck!  The  Navy  needs 
men  like  you !

CHARLES  JOSEPH  KING 

Boston,  Massachusetts 
"charlie"  "chass" 

'08'S  practical  joker,  an  artist  of  talent,  a  literary  genius  lost  without 
_)  his  Book-of-the-Month,  and  the  possessor  of  a  most  charming  person- 
ality, he  never  realized  his  life's  ambition  of  winning  the  Irish  Sweep- 
stakes; but  our  Samuel  Johnson,  with  an  affected  Oxford  accent,  bluffed 
his  way  through  one  European  cruise,  then  returned  to  develop  an  un- 
rivalled proficiency  in  cribbage.  With  frequent  trips  to  Baltimore,  he 
missed  none  of  the  fun  of  second  class  summer,  but  second  class  year 
nearly  proved  his  Waterloo.  After  an  almost  fatal  case  of  pneumonia  and 
four  months  in  the  hospital,  he  astonished  us  by  successfully  completing 
the  year  and  then  fell  into  the  unparalleled  good  fortune  of  four  months 
of  sick  leave.  Then  followed  first  class  year,  and  never  shall  we  forget 
those  Sunday  afternoons  at  Ogle  Hall  spent  with  Charlie  and  our  drags

JAMES  GOLD  ANDREWS 
Germantown,  Pennsylvania 
"jim"  "andy" 

NATURALLY  endowed  with  a  keen  humor  and  a  love  for  sports, 
this  sturdy  lad  from  the  Quaker  State  has  made  the  most  of  his 
four  years;  the  one  has  won  him  friends,  the  other,  athletic  laurels  in 
football  and  baseball.  Common-sense  forms  an  important  part  of  his 
make-up  also — the  sort  of  fellow  who,  after  a  foggy  comment  on  your 
part,  will  flash  you  a  look  out  of  the  corner  of  one  of  those  eyes  (noted 
for  their  ability  to  out-talk  most  tongues)  as  if  to  say,  "When  did  they 
let  you  out?"  A  good  roommate,  that  lad,  Jim!  Occasional  after-taps 
philosophizing,  in  which  ideas  and  ideals  were  exchanged  on  everything 
from  girls  to  religion  have  convinced  his  wife  that  Andy  will  get  what 
he  wants  from  this  old  world — best  of  luck,  Jim !

YOU  would  never  think,  to  see  Eric  pulling  a  healthy  oar  for  the 
Blue  and  Gold,  that  he  was  a  fixture  at  the  fall  and  winter  hops. 
Nor,  to  see  him  there,  would  you  suspect  that  during  crew  season  he 
could  forego  such  pleasures  to  become  one  of  the  monks  of  Hubbard  Hall. 
Yet  Johnny  has  adapted  himself  to  such  a  routine,  gaining  success  in  both 
fields.  Although  his  operatic  efforts,  which  burst  forth  from  the  shower, 
indicate  that  he  will  never  aspire  to  that  calling,  there  is  nothing  Eric 
enjoys  more  than  a  few  bars  of  close  harmony.  And  those  who  have  heard 
his  mellow  baritone  usually  come  back  for  more.  Space  is  too  short  to 
allow  a  fuller  expose  of  his  private  life,  but  let  it  suffice  to  say  that  Eric's 
friends  have  concluded  that  there  is  nothing  of  which  they  are  more 
certain  than  that  Eric  will  top  the  heights.

POLACK 


SKI  hails  from  the  storm-beaten  shores  of  Lake  Erie.  To  judge  from  his 
rugged  appearance  it  would  seem  as  if  he  had  been  battling  the  storms 
all  his  life.  In  this  instance  appearances  aren't  deceiving  either  as  Ski 
may  always  be  seen  on  the  track  or  the  football  field  taking  the  gaff. 
The  pursuit  of  athletics  is  not  Frank's  only  accomplishment,  however, 
for  he's  always  well  above  the  average  in  studies,  too.  He  could  easily 
star  if  he  devoted  less  attention  to  sports.  Usually  he'll  be  found  teaching 
a  fellow  how  to  throw  a  discus  or  helping  a  classmate  with  an  intricate 
prob  in  Steam.  He  drags  some,  too,  different  girls  for  different  occasions. 
Versatile,  cheerful,  generous,  that's  Ski!

A  VICTIM  of  the  system!  Stopped  for  a  while  but  not  demoralized! 
.  Dorie  can  take  it  and  grin,  and  grin  he  does,  whether  it  be  at  work 
or  play.  Never  a  Spanish  Athlete,  he  ignores  his  small  stature  and  can 
always  be  found  in  the  gym,  on  Farragut  Field,  or  on  the  terrace,  mixing 
it  up  with  the  behemoths  and  holding  his  own.  Not  a  snake — in  fact, 
just  occasional  dragging  keeps  him  from  being  a  total  Red  Mike.  His 
consistent  presence  in  the  top  Nav  section  is  ready  proof  of  diligence  in 
his  studies,  but  he'll  stop  in  the  middle  of  a  sentence  to  play  a  game  of 
cribbage.  For  the  man  that  can  endure  the  duress  of  misfortune  and  never 
flinch,  the  world  has  built  a  niche,  and  that  man  is  Dorie!

BAGBO 


HOW  many  trees  do  you  think  I'll  hit?"  is  the  weekly  query  of  this 
serious-minded  young  gentleman.  Ollie  invariably  over-estimates 
the  damage  to  his  academic  prestige.  As  a  rule,  he  manages  to  come  through 
with  flying  colors  at  the  end  of  each  term  in  spite  of  any  dope  he  might 
spread  about  bilging.  This  tall  dark-and-handsome  snake  carries  on  an 
extensive  correspondence  with  the  objects  of  his  affection.  Consequently, 
Ollie  never  misses  a  chance  to  attend  the  hops.  Every  winter  afternoon, 
Ollie  hies  to  the  wrestling  loft  to  attend  to  his  managerial  duties  there. 
During  the  spring,  he  dons  his  spiked  shoes  and  sprints  for  the  track 
team.  And  so  another  Bagby  goes  out  into  the  service  to  uphold  the 
service  reputation  of  that  famous  clan !

"eddie"  "temp" 

BRrrrrrrrr.  "Tattoo — To  your  rooms  all  along!"  Time  to  sheath  the

an  engineering  family,  our  Ed  hails  from  the  environs  of  Pittsburgh,  an 
engineering  city.  Here  is  a  man  whose  brain  is  an  orderly  file  with  every 
subject  down  to  the  most  minute  detail  stowed  neatly,  a  file  always  ready 
for  reference  by  his  non-too-savvy  classmates.  But  Eddie  doesn't  confine 
his  efforts  to  academics.  His  athletic  specialties  are  intra-mural  sports, 
and  he  is  equally  adept  at  football,  basketball,  and  crew.  Catching  on  to  a 
joke  is  his  chief  problem,  but  intensive  training  should  cure  that.  Ed  is  a 
whole-hearted  supporter  of  the  Navy,  and  the  service  is  gaining  a  double- 
barrelled  package  of  good  will.  Take  iti  away,  Admiral  Barrett.

Gainesville,  Georgia 

"jake" 

TO  do  the  minimum  amount  of  studying,  to  obtain  the  maximum 
amount  of  rest,  and  to  excel  at  bridge,  -were  Jake's  aims.  Three  years 
of  college  and  a  quick  mind  made  the  academics  easy;  natural  tendencies 
helped  his  yearning  to  rest;  and  constant  shuffling  the  deck  improved  his 
card  game.  Jasper's  prides  are  his  home  town,  the  horse-collar  capital  of 
the  world;  a  venomous  hatred  of  Yankees;  the  Democratic  Party;  and  Ty 
Cobb.  And  he  is  most  vociferous  in  maintaining  them.  His  hair  was  raven 
black  when  he  entered,  but  worries  over  his  numerous  drags,  his  bad 
bets,  the  baseball  team,  and  keeping  his  wife  sat  have  streaked  it  with 
gray.  Rebel  firmness  and  sincerity  have  made  Jake  a  staunch  friend,  and 
the  same  attributes  will  make  him  successful.

JOHN  DENNING  MASON 
Ebensburg,  Pennsylvania 


IT  happened  on  2.8  June,  1934.  Ebensburg's  contribution  to  the  Navy 
arrived  to  begin  his  career.  Combining  typical  Yankee  firmness  of 
opinion — commonly  known  by  another  name — with  a  carrot-colored 
thatch,  Red  has  proved  an  excellent  person  to  engage  in  an  argument. 
Augmenting  this  is  his  peculiar  faculty  for  always  getting  on  the  wrong 
side.  His  athletic  training  in  cross  country  and  track  gave  him  an  unfair 
advantage  over  most  of  his  classmates — he  could  always  be  five  minutes 
later  in  leaving  his  drag  after  a  hop  to  return  to  Bancroft  Hall  and  still 
arrive  on  time.  Red's  generosity  and  desire  to  help  and  his  willingness  to 
subordinate  his  own  interests  to  those  of  others  have  made  him  an  excellent 
roommate  and  friend.

WILLIAM  GEORGE  BROWN 

Bloomington,  Illinois 
"willy"  "bill" 

WILLIE  never  was  much  as  a  swimmer.  But  he  had  an  objective. 
He  was  determined  to  become  an  officer  in  the  Marine  Corps.  So 
quite  naturally  he  became  a  midshipman  and  automatically  joined  our 
famed  sub  squad.  For  four  years,  he  has  been  splashing  around  in  our 
tanks  trying  to  beat  that  crawl.  Mr.  Ortland  finally  got  tired  of  seeing 
him  around  and  passed  him.  Willie  is  a  derned  good  roommate.  Why  he 
even  sweeps  out  the  corners  once  a  week,  washes  the  basin  once  a  month, 
and  once  he  cleaned  the  shower.  However,  life  with  Willie  is  not  all  roses. 
He  has  a  mania  for  tangos  and  rhumbas — of  all  things !  The  Marines  are 
getting  a  good  officer,  but  if  Willie  is  on  a  ship  and  that  ship  sinks — well, 
the  Marines  had  a  good  officer ! !

Montgomery,  Alabama 

"bob" 

WHERE  did  you  get  those  funny-looking  shoes,  Mister?"  "Sah, 
when  I  wash  'em,  you'll  see  those  ain't  shoes — they're  my  feet!" 
Such  was  Junior's  introduction  to  Navy  life.  Then,  he  began  the  first  of  a 
long  series  of  battles  over  the  way  his  name  was  pronounced.  They  haven't 
ended  yet.  We  should  really  say  that  academics  hold  no  worries  for  him, 
but  that  is  wrong.  Though  habitually  close  to  stars,  the  loss  of  a  point 
one  causes  him  more  sleepless  nights  than  a  lazy  wife  can  understand. 
Notwithstanding  these  cut-throat  tendencies,  the  lad  is  all  there.  As  a 
wife,  as  a  classmate,  as  a  friend,  he  leaves  nothing  to  ask  for.  Alabama's 
loss  is  the  Navy's  gain.  Carry  on,  Admiral  Seye — pardon,  Seebels!

HENRY  HOWARD  DE  LAUREAL 

Broussard,  Louisiana

HE  waded  from  the  swamps  of  Louisiana  to  Maryland  and  put  on 
shoes.  He  liked  civilization  so  well  he  decided  to  remain  and  even 
learned  to  speak  English.  Most  of  his  idle  hours  were  spent  with  dramatics 
and  padded  gloves.  Math  floored  him  Youngster  year,  but  he  came  up 
fighting  and  won  a  close  decision.  Girls  fight  over  him,  although  he 
treats  them  lightly,  because  he  is  true  to  the  fairest  one  at  home.  He  has 
never  been  known  to  miss  a  good  party;  yet  he  can  always  adjust  himself 
to  serious  thought  when  the  occasion  demands.  Memories:  Army-Navy

THE  name  of  the  man  suffices  to  explain  his  character  and  conduct — 
ever-Ready  to  go  and  do,  help  or  distract.  Not  contented  with  knock- 
ing off  4.0's  by  diligently  boning  his  Colliers,  he  has  recourse  to  books 
on  geology,  home-designing,  and  the  daily  racing  charts.  Jack's  afternoons 
are  spent  running  around  the  basketball  courts,  handicapped  by  a  peg-leg, 
so  to  speak.  Tilden's  master  strokes  plus  the  Marx  Brothers'  wit  make 
him  a  valuable  addition  to  the  tennis  team — or  so  the  coach  thinks.  As 
qualified  a  bartender  as  ever  set  foot  in  the  fire  chief's  house !  Fond  mem- 
ories: The  $10  girl;  the  ring;  Liz;  June  Week  1936.  With  his  personality

GID  is  one  of  our  Southern  gentlemen  who  has  had  the  opportunity 
to  experience  in  both  the  Army  and  the  Navy  an  unusual  life. 
Always  cheerful  and  with  a  ready  smile,  he  has  had  no  trouble  in  acquiring 
the  friendship: of  those  who  have  made  his  acquaintance.  Coming  from 
the  land-locked  portion  of  Georgia,  Giddy  had  had  but  one  glimpse  of 
the  sea  before  coming  to  the  Academy,  but  during  his  course  here  he  has 
learned  to  love  life  afloat  and  has  determined  to  go  to  the  Submarine 
School  and  cast  his  lot  with  the  pigboats.  He  has  never  had  any  trouble 
with  academics  and  just  breezes  along  with  no  effort,  taking  things  as 
they  come.  We  wish  Percy  the  best  of  luck  and  speed  him  on  to  success.

A  FAMILIAR  figure  along  the  sidelines  of  every  hop  is  Dave — gracefully 
dancing  along  in  his  truly  excellent  and  enviable  manner.  Hence,  it 
is  not  anomalous  that  the  philosophy  of  this  likable  son  of  the  Green 
Mountain  State  should  be  formed  along  the  lines  of  his  favorite  pursuit. 
Life  to  him  is  a  dance;  take  everything,  as  well  as  the  cuts,  with  a  smile. 
It  may  be  added  his  sense  of  beauty  is  infallible!  An  excellent  sense  of 
humor,  a  bright  yet  cynical  outlook,  a  distinct  aversion  to  classics,  a  ready 
grin,  and  plenty  of  common  sense,  all  go  to  make  Dave  a  pleasant  pal  and 
a  balanced  young  man.

FROM  "Ole  Kaintuck"  this  colonel,  after  two  years  in  the  fleet, 
appeared  among  us  eager  to  become  a  naval  officer.  He  has  spent  his 
four  years  in  a  manner  we  all  envy.  Being  naturally  a  savoir,  he  spent 
little  time  on  academics,  thus  having  plenty  left  for  boxing,  his  pet  sport. 
He  has  been  a  haunter  of  every  hop  and  a  heart-breaker  with  the  girls 
who  like  the  big,  strong  type.  Quiet  but  energetic,  he  has  a  way  of  getting 
things  done  with  the  least  confusion.  Bob  always  got  the  news  with  the 
exception  of  the  time  he  found  himself  locked  in  the  telephone  booth. 
This  big  farm  boy  has  won  our  hearts  with  his  sincerity,  and  he  bids 
fair  to  win  many  more  when  he  goes  to  the  fleet.

BUS'S  number  one  hobby  is  drawing  pictures  in  Juice  and  Bull  lectures. 
He  also  turns  out  good  cartoons  for  the  Army  game  and  occasionally 
bends  his  talent  to  drawing  for  the  Log.  Fresh  from  two  years  of  college, 
he  didn't  have  to  worry  about  academics  but  took  enough  interest  in  his 
studies  to  pass  with  an  excellent  amount  of  velvet.  Sudden  bursts  of 
ambition  found  him  playing  football,  boxing,  and  pole-vaulting,  track 
being  his  favorite.  Bus  usually  takes  girls  as  they  come  and  so  far  has 
never  returned  from  leave  without  a  new  O.  A.  O.  We  suspect  that  some 
day  he  may  go  back  to  his  beloved  hills  and  start  a  feud,  but,  in  the 
meantime,  Bus,  with  his  many  fine  qualities,  will  take  his  numerous  friends

Junior  to  prepare  himself  for  the  first  line  of  defense.  With  him  came 
his  glowing  and  ever-present  personality.  His  distinctions  are  many — 
president  of  the  class,  quarterback  of  the  Navy  eleven,  a  swinging  stick- 
man,  a  scholar  who  never  needs  to  study,  and  last,  but  not  least,  probably 
our  greatest  lover.  His  achievements  certainly  speak  for  themselves.  But 
how  does  he  do  it?  No  matter  who  you  are,  he  will  flash  that  smile  on 
and  off  at  exactly  the  right  moment,  and  get  away  with  murder  again. 
There  is  no  man  in  the  regiment  who  will  carry  more  admiration  and

THAT  Bill  would  live  up  to  the  record  his  father  and  uncles  had 
established  in  Naval  Academy  athletics  was  never  in  doubt  from  his 
first  appearance  in  a  baseball  uniform  during  Plebe  summer.  Since  that 
time  he  has  strengthened  his  position  as  an  intense  competitor  and  a 
brilliant  player  in  the  minds  of  his  classmates.  Possessing  a  rare  sense  of 
humor  and  a  spirit  that  is  seldom  low,  his  laughing  voice  has  brightened 
many  a  dull  day  on  the  cruises  and  in  the  Hall.  The  academics  have 
troubled  him  little,  thanks  to  a  keen  mind  and  Lawrenceville's  early 
training.  Perhaps  the  greatest  praise  we  can  give  Bill  is  that,  in  spite  of 
being  deluged  with  extravagant  praise  from  both  press  and  public,  he  has 
retained  his  poise  and  held  a  steady  course  through  it  all.

then  on  the  lacrosse  field.  He  reads  poetry  and  sport  pages  with  equal  zeal. 
Like  Achilles,  Duby  is  not  invulnerable.  His  one  weakness  manifests  itself 
at  sea  when  Ray  can  generally  be  found  topside  hard  by  the  lee  rail.  Of 
his  other  characteristics,  conservatism  and  modesty  perhaps  dominate. 
He  treats  the  academics  with  respect  but  not  diffidence.  Because  his  clear-

FROM  the  land  of  dog  sleds  and  the  midnight  sun  comes  this  frozen

out  of  spinning  yarns  from  the  land  of  the  igloo,  while,  like  Tennyson, 
he  smokes  infinite  tobacco.  Academically  he  is  well  off  even  though  he 
found  it  a  tight  squeeze  between  the  Steam  Department  and  the  great 
unknown  his  Plebe  year.  Walt  has  something  on  the  ball  at  every  pitch; 
one  seldom  finds  him  at  sea  without  his  water  wings.  A  veritable  Napoleon 
at  the  dinner  table,  a  whirling  demon  on  the  basketball  court,  a  monster 
to  the  Plebes,  and  no  slouch  with  a  slipstick,  he  has  chiseled  himself  a 
permanent  niche  in  the  memories  of  '38.

enough  on  the  ball  to  foil  the  academic  Draculas  in  his  pursuit  of  the

SPLASH — and  away  goes  Bill  on  another  fast  fifty !  Almost  any  afternoon

Only  one  thing  keeps  Bill  from  being  a  perfect  roommate — he  has  always 
refused  to  drag  blind,  remaining  adamant  on  his  Red  Miking  policy. 
Whenever  any  other  Army  brats  like  Bill  decide  to  go  to  sea,  we  will

WHEN  Brick  left  Ohio  seeking  new  worlds  to  conquer,  the  Naval

starting  place.  After  a  confessed  bit  of  loneliness  Plebe  summer,  he  more 
than  held  his  own.  He  spent  little  time  on  academics,  but  with  NA-io 
practices  and  the  answers  required  by  his  voluminous  correspondence — 
resulting  primarily  from  frequent  and  often  simultaneous  affairs-d'amour, 
each  apparently  more  ardent  than  the  last — there  was  little  time  for  study. 
Though  athletically  inclined,  he  contented  himself  with  battalion,  com- 
pany, and  unorganized  sports.  He  never  overlooked  a  chance  for  a  game 
of  cribbage  or  a  bull  session  and  seldom  missed  a  hop.  Blessed  with  a

else,  but  he  himself  enjoys  practically  all  sports  from  golf  to  swimming.

be  found  in  the  center  of  any  group  of  harmonizing  midshipmen,  making 
up  in  enthusiasm  for  any  inaccuracies  of  tone.  He  manages  to  collect  an 
incredible  assortment  of  odd  things  and  can  at  any  time  produce  anything 
from  an  egg-beater  to  vises.  In  fact,  Pret  is  versatility  itself.  Energetic, 
thoroughly  irrepressible,  and  "asiatic,"  he  makes  friends  with  the  greatest 
of  ease.  Born  of  the  Navy,  he  has  spent  his  life  in  England,  France,  the 
Philippines,  and  China;  yet  he  still  calls  Washington  home.

HAM 


DO  you  hear  those  men  singing  down  the  hall?  Do  you  hear  that 
terrific  bull  session  next  door?  Well,  Hal  is  bound  to  be  there — 
that's  Hal's  way.  He  gets  along  with  everybody  because  he's  interested 
in  everything,  some  things  more  than  others,  of  course;  but  he  favors 
firearms,  sailing,  and  wrestling.  If,  perhaps,  you  happen  to  find  him  alone, 
he  is  sure  to  be  reading  some  book  in  which  only  he  could  find  an  interest; 
and  chances  are,  too,  that  he  won't  even  hear  you  speak  even  though  you 
may  be  sitting  directly  opposite  him.  Hal's  interests  are  by  no  means 
confined  to  the  Academy.  Almost  every  mail  attests  to  this,  and  at  every 
hop  you  will  always  find  him  even  if  the  watch  bill  has  to  be  changed  to 
get  him  there.

A  MILD,  good-natured  laziness  conceals  an  intelligence  he  is  wont  to 
.  exercise  only  under  pressure  of  the  slave-driving  academics.  Always 
ready  for  a  discussion  of  any  sort,  Chick  really  waxes  eloquent  in  defense 
of  his  beloved  Marine  Corps,  which  he  served  faithfully  for  two  years 
before  entering  the  Academy.  Knowing  Hughie,  one  wonders  at  his  seem- 
ing neglect  of  the  fair  sex,  but  he  can  take  'em  or  leave  'em  at  his  own 
inclination,  meanwhile  using  his  time  to  better  (?)  advantage.  A  passion 
for  good  music  is  gratified  by  long  hours  spent  with  the  Glee  Club  and 
Musical  Shows  and  impromptu  harmonizing.  His  jovial  humor  and  good 
sense  have  made  him  many  real  friends  and  will  prove  to  be  his  greatest 
assets  in  subsequent  efforts.

GUY  FRANK  GUGLIOTTA 

Hammonton,  New  Jersey 
"guy"  "goo-goo" 

IT  took  an  expedition  into  the  heart  of  New  Jersey  to  uncover  this 
quiet  individual,  who  has  a  prodigious  capacity  for  free  lunches  and  a 
fascination  for  fair  hearts.  Since  his  arrival  at  the  Academy,  Guy  has 
added  soccer,  boxing,  and  lacrosse  to  his  former  achievements,  not  to 
speak  of  a  goodly  amount  of  studying.  Guy  is  generally  rather  quiet;  yet 
with  his  wit  and  sincerity  he  can  hold  his  own  with  the  best  of  our 
amateur  philosophers.  With  no  pretence  nor  affectation,  he  is  a  friend 
who  wears  well,  a  man  to  be  admired  in  the  wardroom.  Guy  has  two 
conflicting  inclinations:  To  become  a  pigboat  sailor  and  to  smoke  a  pipe 
of  ill  reputation,  a  combination  designed  to  promote  mutiny.  We  hope 
that  he'll  realize  the  first  of  these,  for  here  is  a  great  sailor  in  the  making.

MAY  we  introduce  a  future  Major  General  Commandant  of  the  Marine 
Corps,  who  descended  from  the  heights  of  Pike's  Peak  realizing 
his  future  lay  with  Uncle  Sam,  even  as  had  his  uncle  before  him?  Jack 
has  clung  tightly  to  that  rabbit's  foot  but  slipped  for  an  instant  Plebe 
year,  but,  since  that  time.  Jack  has  found  difficulty  in  landing  below  a  3.0. 
For  a  fine  game  of  tennis,  there  is  no  better  opponent,  and,  as  for  a  lover, 
girls,  look  up  and  idolize  the  champion  of  all  young  ladies'  hearts.  Jack 
and  the  boys  have  rarely  missed  a  Sunday  afternoon  with  the  "Dipso 
Club"  on  College  Ave.  It  has  been  a  pleasure  and  an  honor  to  have  known 
this  banker's  son  for  these  past  years,  and  it  is  a  sorry  day  that  we  must 
part  on  leaving  these  gray  walls.

JOSEPH  MATTHEW  McDOWELL 

Manchester,  New  Hampshire 
"mac"  "mcdougall" 

MAC'S  features  do  not  belie  his  true  character — a  fighter  through  and 
through  and  a  firm  believer  in  Perry's  "Don't  give  up  the  ship." 
Overcoming  difficulties  which  would  have  broken  the  average  spirit,  Mac 
has  emerged  from  each  encounter,  stronger  and  more  aggressive  than 
before.  His  perennial  good  humor  and  contagious  enthusiasm  make  him 
an  asset  to  any  gathering.  One  of  the  greatest  disappointments  of  Plebe 
year  to  MacDougall  was  the  non-dragging  rule,  but  he  has  made  up  for 
that  period  of  enforced  social  seclusion  by  dragging  to  every  hop  since 
his  first  June  Ball.  The  fair  ones  succeed  in  becoming  more  charming  when 
Joe's  company  is  in  the  offing — a  true  phenomenon.  For  complete  happi- 
ness— women  and  song  without  wine.  Right,  Mac?  Our  rare  and  princely 
Scot,  top-ho!

FEW  have  to  be  so  formal  as  to  say  "get  off  your  knees  sandblower," 
because  he  is  friendly  enough  with  everyone  for  them  to  end  this  '  'in- 
telligent" remark  with  "Andy."  This  friendliness  is  not  confined  to  the 
male  of  the  species,  and  very  seldom  are  his  friendly  overtures  ignored  by 
the  opposite  sex.  Perhaps  it  is  his  suspiciously  high  forehead,  perhaps  his 
poetic  and  artistic  abilities,  or  perhaps  his  athletic  achievements  that 
make  him  so  attractive.  It  is  hard  to  say,  for  Andy  is  as  versatile  as  he  is 
friendly.  Perhaps  one  of  his  most  noticeable  achievements  is  the  ability 
and  desire  to  argue.  On  what  or  on  which  side  of  "what"  makes  no  dif- 
ference. It's  an  argument,  and  you  are  wrong — at  least  so  he  claims  and 
tries,  with  a  smile,  to  prove.

BERT  is  a  genial  little  fellow,  modest  and  quiet.  But  he  can  take  it!  He 
was  "run"  all  Plebe  year,  and  probably  will  be  all  the  rest  of  his  life, 
about  his  lack  of  altitude.  Give  him  a  pair  of  pliers,  a  gadget  to  take 
apart,  or  any  thing  to  fix  and  he  is  more  than  satisfied.  But  if  he  is  con- 
centrating— just  try  and  get  an  answer  out  of  him.  Bert  takes  his  work 
seriously  and  will  make  an  efficient,  capable  officer.  He  gets  along  well  in 
all  subjects  except  Dago — just  can't  seem  to  twist  his  tongue  around  those 
Spanish  "palabras."  His  stubbornness  is  unlimited,  and  tempered  only  by 
his  determination  to  succeed.  Bert's  loyalty  and  warm  friendship  will 
make  us  proud  to  call  him  our  brother  officer.

"hank" 

IT  was  a  short  step  from  eagle  scout  to  midshipman  for  this  product  of 
America's  most  interesting  city  and  world's  largest  mahogany  port, 
New  Orleans.  But  Hank  is  more  typical  of  his  home  town's  reputation 
than  it's  business.  In  fact,  if  the  truth  were  known,  he's  pretty  savvy  and 
always  has  to  answer  his  roommates'  question,  "how  do  they  get  this?" 
But  as  is  characteristic  of  whatever  he  undertakes,  he  refrains  from  mak- 
ing an  issue  of  his  intelligence  and  carrying  it  too  far.  Temperate,  that's 
Hank.  Women  affect  him  only  slightly;  wine  he  can  take  or  leave  (though 
he's  usually  polite);  and  song  cannot  carry  him  to  ecstatic  heights  or 
plunge  him  into  the  depths  of  despair.  But  he  does  have  one  weakness.  He 
bows  in  humble  reverence  before  His  Majesty,  Morpheus.

DICK  looked  across  the  street  into  Mexico  before  he  shoved  off  from 
home,  Brownsville,  Texas,  and  a  senorita  tearfully  called  "hasta  la 
vista"  to  him.  The  Spanish  must  have  been  contagious  because  Dick, 
even  tempered  otherwise,  cusses  when  he  receives  a  mere  3.7  in  Dago. 
Though  a  python  of  the  worst  species,  it  can't  be  traced  back  to  the  same 
source  since  this  characteristic  is  so  inflexible  it  must  be  inherent.  This 
man  has  missed  one  hop  since  Plebe  June  Ball.  He  was  in  the  hospital. 
Easy  going,  with  only  a  lazy  smile  of  derision  for  anyone  who  tries  to 
ride  him,  his  continual  good  humor  insures  a  good  time  for  him  under 
any  circumstances.  An  optimistic,  cheerful  son-of-a-gun  too,  darn  if  he 
isn't.

STEAM!  Steam!  Steam!  Yes  sir,  this  lad,  Jim,  has  plenty  of  it  hidden 
somewhere  under  a  tousled  blond  head,  but  it's  different  from  that 
which  enters  turbines.  Four  years  at  Shenandoah  Valley  Academy  in 
Virginia  supplied  the  first  heat  that  carried  him  right  into  our  midst. 
No,  girls,  you  can't  have  Jim.  The  Navy  wants  him!  And  he  wants  the 
Navy,  though  he  believes  in  giving  everyone  a  break.  He's  a  dangerous 
140  pound  package  of  dynamite,  when  aroused.  His  eyes  become  searching, 
inquisitive,  when  ai.5  stares  him  in  the  face.  You  guess!  Jim  has  a  code 
of  his  own.  It's  putting  other  people's  feelings  above  his  own  rights  and 
other  people's  rights  above  his  own  feelings.  An  Admiral's  gold  braid 
can't  be  denied  him.  Stand  clear!

be  said  that  he  is  a  snake.  Almost  any  afternoon  he  may  be  found  in  the 
Natatorium  swimming  his  mile.  A  real  English  and  History  savoir,  a 
reader  of  good  books,  with  a  prodigious  memory,  he  will  always  come 
through  his  Academic  battles  on  top.  Besides  being  a  most  versatile  person 
he  is  an  agreeable  companion  and  a  true  friend.

FROM  sunny  Alabama  this  stalwart  rebel  came  to  the  Severn's  shores 
to  uphold  the  honor  of  the  South.  Starting  early  Plebe  summer,  Dick 
began  to  demonstrate  to  Coach  Ortland  his  aquatic  prowess.  Swimming, 
however,  almost  lost  one  of  its  devotees  when  Youngster  year  rolled 
around  with  Hops  and  opportunities  to  drag.  In  his  famous  drawl  he  is 
always  willing  to  proclaim  the  unequalled  beauty  of  the  southland's 
Belles,  the  keen  zest  of  the  daybreak  hunt,  or  the  pleasure  of  a  canter 
over  a  rolling  plantation,  all  of  which  the  surge  of  a  teakwood  deck 
made  him  forsake.  Possessed  of  a  quiet  good  nature,  a  tremendous  capacity 
for  hard  work,  and  a  Scottish  thrift  which  leads  him  to  save  pad  paper 
until  it  is  dog-eared,  Woof  will  be  a  driving  factor  out  in  the  Fleet.

CLARK 


CLARK  came  to  us  from  the  cow  country  of  Western  Nebraska.  Al- 
though an  old  cowhand  he  accomplished  the  change  from  saddle 
pony  to  battle  wagon  without  a  tremor.  He  soon  solved  the  riddle  of 
keeping  sat,  and  since  then  has  evidenced  a  supreme  contempt  for  the 
Academic  Departments.  Girls  have  not  bothered  our  Clark  in  the  least. 
He  prefers  to  direct  his  energy  along  other  lines.  He  seldom  drags;  will  do 
anything  for  his  friend,  except  drag.  His  wives  know  that  he  is  an  able 
diplomat  and  a  person  of  very  definite  convictions,  political  and  other- 
wise; his  irresistable  wit  and  sunny  disposition  have  chased  away  many

THE  Academic  Departments  early  divined  that  here  was  splendid  game, 
indeed;  and  they  brought  their  heaviest  guns  to  bear.  But  Spence 
fought  them  all  to  a  standstill.  The  old  stag  still  keeps  his  antlers;  he 
snuffs  the  tainted  breeze  and  snorts  his  defiance  of  our  common  enemy  from 
that  lair  in  the  B-hole.  Never  a  hop  has  Lightnin  missed;  yet  he  stoutly 
maintains  that  he's  no  snake — merely  a  victim  of  circumstance.  Coldly 
distant  toward  the  Academics,  yet  he  displays  a  softer  side  to  his  friends; 
he's  even  been  known  to  drag  blind.  His  never-failing  good  humor  and  his 
salty  tales  have  dispelled  the  blues  many  a  time.  Crooner's  a  reactionary 
Republican,  a  cheerful  lender,  a  willing  borrower,  a  fiery  debater,  an  able 
listener,  a  confirmed  scoffer  of  the  gentle  hamburger.  "Skipper — on

JOE  CUNDIFF  ELIOT 

Oakwood,  Texas 
"jo-jo"  "shorty" 

JOE  hails  from  Texas,  a  state  noted  not  only  for  its  contribution  of 
major  league  baseball  players  but  for  the  supreme  quality  of  its  fairer 
sex.  He  disclaims  interest  in  the  latter  but  his  heritage  in  baseball  is 
evidenced  by  the  "N"  star  won  during  Youngster  year.  Being  'a  sand- 
blower  puts  no  handicap  on  his  pitching  abilities,  as  Army  will  testify, 
although  finding  the  box  sometimes  puzzles  him.  Speaking  of  femmes  we 
have  often  wondered  whether  Joe  lacks  the  love-making  technique  or 
just  doesn't  have  the  heart  to  pull  cupid's  bow  strings.  We  are  all  looking 
forward  to  donning  those  epaulettes,  but  fear  that  the  deep-seated  charm 
of  the  fertile  plains  of  the  blue-bonnet  state  might  exceed  the  call  of  the 
sea  for  this  sun-tanned  Texan.

"dick"  "muggs" 

FRESH  from  jerking  sodas  out  in  the  Indian  Country,  Dick  came  east 
and  proceeded  to  distinguish  himself  from  the  very  beginning.  A  star 
man  and  always  willing  to  interrupt  his  own  work  to  help  a  struggling 
classmate,  Dick  was  a  gift  of  Providence  to  three  wooden  roommates.  A 
lightweight  wrestler  during  the  winter  and  a  coxswain  of  the  150  pound- 
ers in  the  spring,  Dick  early  had  to  throttle  a  Plebe  year  ambition  to 
"get  fat."  Perpetually  attracted  by  the  fairer  sex,  his  greatest  source  of 
sorrow  is  an  ever-obliging  readiness  to  drag  blind.  A  tendency  to  govern, 
temporarily,  his  entire  course  of  action  by  a  sudden  inspiration  has,  at 
times,  caused  his  closest  friends  the  greatest  consternation;  but  as  a  pos- 
sessor of  the  all-around  qualities  that  make  an  efficient  officer,  few  can 
match  Dick.

a  seafarers.  In  human,  erring  fashion  he  now  strides  toward  a  Naval 
career.  With  moderate  preparation  for  classes,  he  finds  Academics  friendly 
and  susceptible  to  mastery,  always  having  time  left  for  sports  and  other 
activities.  Outweighing  his  violin  by  only  104  pounds,  he  eagerly  strives 
for  greater  advantage  by  indulging  in  his  favorite  vice.  In  a  comfortable 
position,  usually  horizontal,  he  likes  radio  music  to  mingle  with  the  tale 
of  some  good  book.  A  developing  gallant,  Carl  can't  long  find  safety  by 
having  a  number  of  pretty  girls.  He  used  to  regard  dragging  and  sports 
as  a  recreation,  but  he  is  developing  a  serious  attitude.  His  good  sense  of

Danish  blood  of  which  he  boasts  gave  him  the  decision.  And  that  fine

AFTER  a  year  of  collegiate  life  Ray  forsook  the  black  and  gold  of 
x\_  Maryland  "U"  to  join  Thirty-eight.  A  deeply  imbedded  love  for 
the  sea  and  sailing  takes  him  almost  every  afternoon  to  his  home-made 
yawl  where  one  may  see  him  with  the  tiller  in  one  hand  and  his  beloved 
pipe  in  the  other,  leaning  back  enjoying  all  that  the  Chesapeake  has  to 
offer.  Few  possess  the  omniscient  way  with  "book-larnin'  "  accompanied 
by  a  copious  practical  mind.  Truly  Ray  has  both,  and  his  talents  are  many. 
Women? — ah,  yes!  He's  not  a  "frve-per-center,"  but  the  DON'TS  of  Navy 
life  never  interfere  with  his  broadminded  interpretations.  Wimpy's  in-

WHEN  Army  relinquished  its  favorite  son,  Navy  received  under  the 
name  of  Pete  a  hearty  laugh  and  a  carefree  smile.  Pete  soon  showed 
us  that  behind  that  smile  was  a  keen  alert  mind  and  the  determination  to 
see  a  thing  thru.  Studies  not  bothering  him,  Cosmo's,  arguing,  and  helping

at  a  girl  until  Second  Class  year  and  then .  The  ability  to  be  caught 

for  what  everyone  else  got  away  with  and  the  habit  of  dressing  between 
formation  on  the  third  deck  and  late  bell  on  the  terrace  earned  him  his 
share  of  extra  duty.  Everyone,  D.  O.'s  and  Plebes  included,  is  sorry  to

or  where  or  for  what  purpose  a  meeting  was  called  he  was  always  there 
as  our  number  one  dope-getter.  It  is  rumored  that  he  didn't  miss  four

Naval  Academy  than  any  three  of  us  would  know  what  to  do  with. 
Academics  never  came  too  hard  for  him  and  consequently  study  hours 
usually  found  him  concentrating  on  a  box  of  stationery  and  the  day's  fan 
mail.  Although  not  a  snake  he  always  starred  in  drags.  Just  ask  any

combined  with  an  astonishing  store  of  accurate  knowledge  of  medicine, 
bacteriology,  the  Koran,  the  political  situation,  and  the  exact  location  of

that  he's  never  at  home.  He  likes  sailing  or  anything  else  that  you  can

found  himself  a  Plebe  in  this  Navy.  From  an  ancestry  of  Scandinavian

blessed  with  a  hearty  smile.  He  is  aware  of  what  it  takes  to  defeat  the

CHARLES  ROLAND  JOHNSON 
Steubenville,  Ohio 


THE  Wizard's  field  is  the  whole  of  natural  science.  To  see  him  twirl  a 
pencil  once  or  twice  vaguely  in  the  air,  then  pounce  on  the  paper  with 
the  solution  like  a  cat  on  a  herring  inspires  a  touch  of  awe  in  those  of  us 
less  gifted.  Figures,  not  words,  are  his  forte  in  the  classroom,  but  he 
manages  both  quite  well  indeed  in  the  ballroom.  A  powerhouse  of  nervous 
energy  is  apparently  its  own  handicap  in  sport,  wearing  out  a  rather  light 
build  unseasonably,  but  neither  that  nor  his  common  sense  will  be  much 
of  a  handicap  in  the  Navy  or  any  other  job.  We're  confident  that  the 
world  won't  be  too  long  discovering  it,  either.  So  be  it,  Chuck,  with  all 
our  hearts.

"doc"  "pug" 

DOC'S  original  interest  in  life  was  biological  (as  whose  isn't?),  but 
he  shifted  to  naval  affairs  as  less  primeval.  A  powerful  wiry  body 
brings  him  merited  recognition  in  football  and  wrestling.  Equally  enjoy- 
able to  us,  if  less  widely  known,  are  our  playful  sparring  and  pitching 
duels  in  the  room.  A  fantastic  bookshelf  with  frequent  additions  keeps 
all  of  us  posted  on  current  trends.  He's  never  moody;  in  fact  when  some 
affair  of  the  heart  is  going  particularly  well,  his  gaiety  is  so  infectious 
that  all  of  our  heavy  tomes  are  unstudiously  ignored  for  the  rest  of  the 
evening  and  the  races  are  on.  We  know  what  he  can  do,  and  we  know 
that  he'll  "do  us  proud."  That's  why  we  say,  "Go  forth  and  slay  that 
dragon,  son.  You  can't  miss."

ALVIN  FRANCIS  SBISA 
New  Orleans,  Louisiana 


spike 


OUR  Al  lays  claim  to  being  the  best  Navy  material  Louisiana  ever 
produced.  He  wasn't  born  to  be  a  "sea  dog"  but  the  essentials  came 
by  the  path  of  least  resistance.  Behind  a  mask  of  jovial  good  nature  is 
borne  sharp  wit  and  biting  sarcasm,  but  he  never  fails  to  see  the  funny 
side.  He  has  kept  the  academic  departments  guessing  for  four  years  and 
he  wins  the  civil  war  at  every  turn  of  the  road.  He  is  a  lover  of  the  old 
school,  a  demon  cribbage  player  and  a  true  companion.  His  light  shines 
on  the  baseball  diamond  and  in  the  rough  of  "B"  squad  football.  In  short, 
he  is  a  boy  who  throws  his  heart  and  soul  into  whatever  he  undertakes. 
If  he  has  an  enemy  in  this  world  it  is  because  the  enemy  doesn't  know  Al. 
We  are  behind  you  to  the  man — Good  luck.

SPIKE 


FROM  the  Bad  Lands  of  Wyoming  comes  this  man,  and  a  truer  example 
of  the  West  just  isn't  found.  His  two  fists  work  as  fast  and  as  hard  as 
Buffalo  Bill's  six-shooters  ever  worked,  but  luckily  he  only  proves  this 
when  in  the  ring.  Outside  of  the  squared  circle  Treth  uses  his  smile, 
another  disarming  weapon.  You  can't  refuse  any  of  his  numerous  requests 
when  he  turns  on  the  grin.  Like  all  lovers  of  the  sea  Jack  always  seems  to 
sail  close-hauled,  especially  when  it  comes  to  the  Academics.  He  produces 
at  the  right  moment,  though,  and  that's  the  test  of  a  man.  The  country 
is  safe  with  Treth  in  the  Navy.  And  the  Navy  will  never  let  him  go 
because  it,  like  his  class,  knows  a  real  man.

FRED 


STATEN  Island  claims  this  husky  lad  who  acquired  his  love  for  the 
sea  by  watching  steamers  pass  in  and  out  of  New  York  harbor.  Fred 
is  a  typical  "Yankee,"  always  willing  to  indulge  in  a  discussion  on  the 
Civil  War.  His  non-reg  attitude  was  no  doubt  procured  by  frequent 
glimpses  of  the  "Statue  of  Liberty"  a  symbol  of  freedom.  With  Plebe 
Steam  completed,  Fred  held  no  fear  of  the  Academic  Departments.  Between 
hops,  women,  and  song  he  could  be  found  slugging  home  runs  on  the 
diamond,  ringing  baskets  on  the  wooden  ways  or  playing  an  end  on  the 
"B"  squad.  His  classmates  will  always  remember  him  as  a  cheerful  free- 
lancer whose  arresting  personality  will  guarantee  him  success  no  matter 
where  he  may  be.  Smooth  sailing  Fred !

P HILLY  gave  '38  the  powerful  "atom,"  Dick  Weber.  Though  he  spent 
most  of  his  study  hours  writing  to  that  "lil"  gal  back  home,  he 
sometimes  forsook  academics  for  Cosmo.  This  fellow  is  everybody's  friend, 
one  who  stands  by  his  ideals  in  the  face  of  all  opposition.  Dick  never 
liked  Dago  and  Dago  never  liked  Dick,  but  he's  plenty  savvy  otherwise. 
Friends  can  always  count  on  his  consideration,  for  he  always  lends  a 
helping  hand  in  academics  to  wooden  classmates.  Web  left  Penn  State  to 
become  one  of  Uncle  Samuel's  naval  proteges.  In  every  line  of  endeavor 
that  he  undertakes  we  know  that  he'll  produce.  A  scrutiny  of  his  smile, 
which  is  strangely  reminiscent  of  a  contented  and  energetic  chipmunk 
convinces  anyone  that  success  is  his.  Lots  of  luck,  Dick!

use  one  of  his  own  cliches,  with  which  he  settles  every  problem  satis- 
factorily and  then  calmly  disregards  all  other  complex  opinions,  "There's 
a  time  and  a  place  for  .everything."  Besides  a  stable,  happy  disposition  and 
forceful  mind,  Jamie  possesses  physical  gifts  far  above  the  average.  He 
earned  his  N*  as  a  varsity  catcher  during  Youngster  year  and  plays  A  squad 
football  in  the  fall.  His  outstanding  qualification  for  the  Navy  is  a  char-

FROM  the  remote  regions  of  Pennsylvania  came  this  diminutive  gentle-

ment and  has  finally  come  out  on  top  with  flying  colors.  Truly  few  men

power.  His  courage  in  the  face  of  odds  has  made  him  many  friends  and  has 
gained  the  admiration  of  all  who  know  him.  Academics,  however,  held 
no  terrors  for  this  intellectual.  He  can  "get  that  stuff"  and  he  knows  it. 
Little  Herbie  is  a  giant  with  the  ladies.  Scarcely  a  week-end  or  a  hop 
passes  that  he  cannot  be  found  in  the  environs  of  Dahlgren  Hall,  and  the

a  close  Dago  race.  A  guarantee  to  cure  brings  all  his  friends  around  for

Country  for  the  Navy.  As  savvy  as  they  come,  his  interests  and  intel- 
lect are  along  practical  lines  and  life  holds  more  than  a  star  for  him.  Pos- 
sessing varsity  potentialities  in  no  less  than  three  sports,  others  have  been 
cast  aside  for  his  one  love,  the  "Crew."  The  annual  pull  down  the  Hudson 
is  his  life.  He  has  come  to  love  the  briny  deep  and  the  ships  thereon,  but 
his  aspirations  as  when  he  joined  us,  are  for  the  fleeter  craft  of  the  "Dog 
Fight."  Tall  of  stature  and  of  stories,  he  will  live  his  memories  over  in 
those  energetic  bull  sessions  until  only  memories  and  glories  remain. 
Power  to  you  even  if  you  do  choose  the  Marine  Corps.

WE  think  it  is  true  what  they  say  about  these  Dixie  fellers,  at  least 
as  exemplified  by  our  Pappy.  He  is  congenial,  easy  going  and  pos- 
sesses excellent  sporting  qualities,  being  ever  ready  for  a  frolic  or  a  tussle. 
Being  an  ideal  shipmate,  Jep  is  the  friend  of  all  who  know  him.  You  don't 
have  to  ask  him  if  he's  having  a  grand  time  in  life.  It's  in  his  face  and 
every  action.  His  many  nicknames  speak  loudly.  In  short,  we  think  he's  a 
grand  little  guy.  He  never  lets  academics  worry  him  until  grades  are  posted 
and  not  for  long  then.  He  came  to  us  from  the  "blue  grass"  state  and 
purchased  shoes  like  his  brother's.  He  aspires  to  follow  that  brother  to 
his  dive  bombing  squadron.  We'll  cruise  again,  Jep.

HAVING  spent  literally  all  his  time  before  coming  to  Uncle  Samuel's 
School  of  the  Sea  sailing  on  Raritan  Bay,  Waring  brought  with  him 
an  enviable  fund  of  sea-going  lore.  Occasionally  being  of  a  serious  turn  of 
mind,  he  finds  plenty  of  time  to  devote  to  the  important  consideration  of 
academics,  and  is  well  known  as  a  savoir.  The  rest  of  the  time  he  is  sailing, 
dragging,  sailing,  engaging  in  any  one  of  the  number  of  sports  in  which 
he  excels,  or  sailing.  If  there  is  a  respectable  breeze  and  boats  available,  the 
choice  is  sailing.  Get  it?  Robespierre  will  share  his  last  apple  or  pipeful  of

"jigger"  "eddie" 

THEY  call  him  Jigger,  this  little  man  from  the  smallest  state  in  the 
Union,  but  that  is  as  far  as  littleness  goes  in  describing  him.  His  heart 
is  as  big  as  anybody's.  For  the  first  two  years  he  spent  most  of  his  time 
trying  to  keep  his  wife  from  bilging  out.  He  succeeded,  just  as  he  has  in 
almost  everything  else.  Jigger  is  one  of  a  room  of  three  Red  Mikes  but 
that  does  not  mean  he  neglects  the  women  entirely.  The  rascal  has  a  way 
with  the  gals  that  is  quite  astounding.  He  is  not  a  savoir  but  starting 
with  Second  Class  year  he  has  been  just  a  step  behind  the  stars.  We  know 
this  swell  guy  will  continue  to  excel,  out  in  the  Fleet.

PERHAPS  regulations  are  the  soul  of  the  Naval  Academy,  but  breaking 
them  successfully,  in  the  Spartan  manner,  is  the  soul  of  Lawrence 
Denver.  His  mechanical  ingenuity  and  native  intelligence  have  not  only 
kept  our  radio  in  playing  condition,  and  our  various  mechanical  appli- 
ances in  working  order,  but  have  also  kept  Larry  off  the  pap  and  aca- 
demically on  the  right  side  of  1.5.  By  judicious  use  of  his  good  looks 
Larry  has  steered  a  safe  course  between  the  rocks  of  snakehood  and  the 
shoals  of  Red  Mikery.  Though  one  might  not  expect  it  from  a  native  of 
those  West  Virginia  hills,  he  is  equally  at  his  ease  among  his  classmates 
and  in  respectable  society.  His  good-fellowship  and  amenable  disposition 
have  made  him  an  ideal  comrade  for  our  four  years  at  the  Academy.

HAPPY-GO-LUCKY,  humorous,  slightly  sarcastic,  and  often  showing 
his  exuberance  in  strange  antics — that's  Jack.  His  Columbia-river- 
crawl  has  made  him  a  consistant  member  of  the  sub  squad,  but  baseball 
and  soccer  are  the  sports  in  which  he  excels.  Academics  come  easy  to  Jack 
and,  consequently,  he  has  much  spare  time  to  devote  to  good  literature. 
Many  of  his  extra  moments  find  him  lost  in  solitude  in  an  obscure  part  of 
Bancroft  Hall  madly  working  with  his  violin  in  an  effort  to  imitate  the 
masters  he  enjoys  on  the  radio.  In  society  he  is  rather  subdued,  but  his 
ready  wit  and  smooth  waltz  always  provide  a  ready  entre  into  the  hearts 
of  thefemmes.  A  great  pal — that's  our  idea  of  Jack.

JUNIOR  was  groomed  Plebe  year  by  "da  Virg"  who  did  a  4.0  job. 
Pedro  usually  has  a  war  going  on  with  another  room  but  he  always 
knocks-off  when  study  hour  busts  to  bone  the  next  day's  lesson.  Although 
Pete  is  no  savoir  he  is  usually  well  above  the  border  line.  When  he  is 
close,  however,  he  worries  so  much  that  the  rest  of  the  Regiment  can 
secure.  There  is  a  good  reason  for  his  concern;  Junior  is  a  Navy  man  by 
birth  and  he  wants  to  carry  on.  Athletics  to  him  are  good  fun  and  his 
variety  is  great,  from  "B"  squad  football  to  bucket  lacrosse.  Serious  at 
the  right  time  but  always  ready  for  a  good  time,  Peter  makes  a  good 
Navy  man.  He  leaves  us  with  many  lasting  friends.

CHARLES  CONWAY  HARTIGAN,  JR.

"connie"  "butch" 

CON,  a  son  of  the  Navy,  took  a  look  at  the  world  before  he  decided 
to  settle  down  to  the  routine  of  the  Naval  Academy.  Having  lived 
in  Brazil,  China,  France,  and  Severn  School,  he  has  an  unlimited  supply 
of  stories  about  each.  They  called  his  father  Happy — and  Red  might  well 
be  called  Happy  Jr.  Academics  worry  China  not  in  the  least — they're  just 
something  to  be  tolerated.  Con  maintains  an  unusually  high  standing 
with  the  fair  ones,  and  generally  there  is  that  one  in  particular.  Fall 
afternoons  find  Butch  on  the  soccer  field  booting  the  ball,  while  during 
the  sub  zero  weather  he  amuses  himself  making  hot  chocolate  for  all 
comers.  Con  enjoys  the  Navy,  life  in  general,  and  a  good  time  best  of  all; 
so  things  are  always  merrier  with  the  Irishman  around.

HAMMY 


TO  this  Navy  Junior,  steeped  in  the  finest  naval  traditions,  entering 
the  Naval  Academy  that  hot  July  day  was  the  attainment  of  a  goal 
sought  for  17  years.  He  exhibits  real  ability  at  football,  boxing,  and 
lacrosse,  winning  four  numerals  Plebe  year.  Overabundance  of  "fight" 
leads  him  to  volunteer  coaching  in  all  sports.  Unconscious  of  his  handsome 
features  and  V-type  figure,  he  is  not  a  snake  and  subscribes  to  the  theory 
that  there  are  two  classes  of  girls:  the  O.  A.  O.  and  all  the  rest,  but  so 
far  has  met  only  "the  rest."  Don  is  a  swell  roommate,  generous,  savvy, 
and  loyal,  though  stubborn  and  so  diplomatic  that  he  frequently  gets  all 
hands  into  ticklish  situations.  I  expect  Don's  ambitions  for  "4  stars  above 
his  quarter-deck"  to  be  realized  before  many  classmates  now  wearing 
stars.

ways comes  through.  With  his  Runyon-like  speech  he  can  improve  any

MORTIMER  hails  from  Michigan  "where  they  have  swimming  teams

noon of  Plebe  year,  churning  up  the  pool  for  hours  on  end.  Mac  retired 
from  active  competition  upon  realizing  that  without  it,  he  could  still  lose 
weight,  appropriate  the  extra  dessert,  and  have  a  fair  knowledge  of  the 
contents  of  every  magazine  on  the  deck.  Essentially  a  dilettante,  Mort 
occasionally  enjoys  a  sail  and  a  game  of  touch.  Genial  Mac's  rhythm  is 
frowned  upon,  and  his  discordant  yelps  to  the  accompaniment  of  the

for  this  man  who  double-times  in  place.  And  the  subject  of  women  is,

academically  and  to  a  first  place  in  the  hearts  of  his  classmates  as  one  of 
most  respected  and  popular  members  of  '38.  His  greatest  vices  are  a  love  of 
chow  and  sleep,  a  weakness  for  cribbage,  and  a  yen  for  telling  unbelievable 
tales  of  his  native  California.  It  is  with  real  regret  that  we  part  company

"ozzie" 

WHO  put  those  crackers  in  my  bed?"  This  is  the  usual  question 
asked  and  the  answer  nine  times  out  of  ten  is  traced  to  Ozzie  Zink. 
Hailing  from  the  Empire  State,  Ozzie  will  enter  either  side  of  any  argu- 
ment and  emerge  on  the  winning  end.  As  a  Plebe  he  became  quite  a  vocal- 
ist, entertaining  the  first  class  with  "The  Old  Pine  Tree"  at  full  dress 
P-rades.  Neither  a  snake  nor  a  Red  Mike  he  drags  sometimes  for  himself 
and  sometimes  for  others.  Although  not  a  savoir,  his  constant  effort  al- 
ways puts  him  through  with  that  extra  velvet.  A  good  sense  of  humor 
and  a  cheerful  disposition  make  him  an  ideal  roommate.  The  best  of  luck 
and  success  to  you,  Ozzie,  whether  it  be  in  the  Service  or  in  civilian  life.

GEORGE  RICHARD  NEWTON 

Salt  Lake  City,  Utah 
"newt"  "fig" 

SALT  Lake  City  in  frontier  Utah  scored  again  and  gave  the  Navy  a 
worthy  man.  George  never  starred  because  he  spent  his  time  helping 
those  unsat  or  devising  ways  to  become  a  millionaire.  He  holds  down  the 
varsity  low  hurdle  event  with  credit  and  is  undoubtedly  a  natural  track 
man.  Crosby  and  Vallee  had  better  look  to  their  laurels  when  George  is 
around,  as  vocalizing  comprises  his  favorite  hobby.  His  initiative  will 
eventually  land  him  at  his  highest  goal — to  become  an  aviator.  With  a 
carefree  disposition  and  a  congenial  attitude,  he  has  made  a  perfect  room- 
mate and  a  true  pal.  A  real  love  for  the  Service  and  aviation,  the  highest 
sense  of  duty,  and  a  true  idea  of  honor  cover  George's  outstanding  quali- 
ties; coupled  with  an  alert  mind  they  make  him  a  real  fellow.

WALTER  ALLEN  SHARER 
Carney's  Point,  New  Jersey 
"walt"  "was" 

FOUR  years  ago  Walt  came  forth  from  the  "wilds"  of  New  Jersey  to 
conquer  a  new  adversary,  academics  at  the  United  States  Naval 
Academy.  To  do  this  he  gave  up  his  desire  to  become  a  second  Guy  Lom- 
bardo.  Studies  have  never  proved  a  problem  and  he  can  always  be  seen 
dragging  on  the  week  ends.  Women  are  his  only  worry.  To  lie  on  his  bunk 
any  afternoon  of  the  week  is  a  big  waste  of  time.  All  his  spare  moments 
must  be  spent  in  keeping  up  his  correspondence.  Since  he  would  rather 
learn  new  stunts  on  the  horse  and  parallel  bars  than  sleep,  he  has  made 
himself  into  a  star  man  on  the  gym  team.  Industrious,  neat,  and  cheery, 
Walter  will  always  be  missed  if  not  in  the  crowd.  He  is  certain  to  achieve 
success.  We  wish  him  luck!

CARL  REDMOND  DWYER 

Ponca  City,  Oklahoma 
"ponca"  "politician" 

SUPPOSIN'  I  had  continued  my  early-planned  career  as  a  petroleum 
engineer — I  might  not  be  the  proud  owner  of  a  '31  Model  A  Ford 
now."  Looking  in  the  direction  from  which  this  familiar  line  comes,  one 
sees  Ponca  philosophizing  over  a  piece  of  Reef  Points  stationery.  The 
truth  will  out;  the  fellow  will  succeed  wherever  he  is.  In  the  same  logical 
way  that  he  attacks  all  academic  problems  does  he  manage  everything 
that  he  undertakes.  His  principal  fault  is  his  good-natured  teasing  of  other 
people,  a  sport  in  which  he  delights.  Being  very  careful  with  his  financial 
affairs  he'll  be  a  man  of  means  some  day  if  the  Navy  doesn't  keep  him. 
If  he  stays  in  the  Navy  you  can  rest  assured  that  his  particular  duty  will 
always  be  efficiently  carried  out.  Golden  slippers  some  day,  Ponca.

IIFE  begins  at  6:xo  for  Mac,  and  it's  always  a  busy  day  when  the  Lucky 
u  Bag's  miser-in-chief  swings  into  action.  Characteristic  of  those 
strong,  silent  men  of  the  southwest  he  says  little,  but  his  golden  silence  is 
often  pierced  by  humorous  take-offs  on  the  unbeatable  system.  An  ideal 
roommate,  Mac;  he  repays  borrowed  stamps  and  fans  the  dying  spark  of 
social  interest  in  our  room,  but  won't  drag  blind  for  his  best  friend.  We 
wonder  at  the  time-worn  phrase,  "You  can't  win,"  for  Mac  has  been  con- 
sistent in  throwing  the  Academic  Departments  for  a  loss,  at  the  same  time 
proving  his  athletic  ability  at  pole-vaulting.  His  will  be  smooth  sailing, 
and  with  his  likable  qualities  and  warm  disposition  it's  bound  to  be 
sunny.  We  know  him  as  more  than  an  officer  and  a  gentleman — a  friend.

"hank" 

HANK  had  a  yearning  to  see  what  the  rest  of  the  world  was  like  so 
he  bade  farewell  to  Manchester  and  gave  the  Navy  one  of  its  finest 
officers.  His  unassuming  manner  has  won  him  the  respect  of  his  classmates 
for  when  sailing  is  the  roughest  Henry  is  at  his  best.  Though  not  a  super 
savoir  there  has  never  been  any  doubt  in  our  minds  as  to  his  presence  at 
the  final  roll  call.  He  has  done  his  share  of  snaking  but  New  England 
femmes  are  still  in  a  class  by  themselves.  He  is  a  violinist  of  no  mean 
ability  but  it  can  never  be  said  that  Hank  provoked  the  wrath  of  his 
neighbors  while  practicing.  His  modesty  prevents  his  playing  except  when 
asked.  A  he-man  and  a  rare  friend,  Hank  is  the  real  thing.

1ARGE,  friendly  brown  eyes,  with  long  eyelashes  first  attract  attention 
a  to  Jimmy,  revealing  that  he  is  an  undeniably  charming  gentleman. 
Judging  from  the  number  and  quality  of  drags  that  Jimmy  finds,  girls 
hold  this  view.  However,  this  Minnesota  man  solved  the  woman  problem 
by  selecting  a  Minnesota  O.  A.  O.  She  is  first  in  his  thoughts,  as  anyone 
who  observes  the  respectful,  enrapt  manner  in  which  he  speaks  of  her 
can  verify.  To  join  him  delving  into  weighty  academic  complexities,  or 
to  enjoy  his  good  taste  in  cars,  is  to  feel  true  comradeship,  an  enriching 
comradeship,  for  Jig-Jig  will  gladly  do  anything  for  anyone,  or  express 
sound  opinions  on  any  important  matter.  A  good  mind,  that  academics 
never  bothered,  a  capitalistic  attitude  toward  finance,  and  the  jolliest  of 
natures  fill  out  the  portrayal  of  a  winsome  fellow.

GOODLOOKING,  Dimples,  Sunshine,  Pinhead,  Tarzan,  and  Campus 
Leader,"  a  perfect  description  of  the  chowhound  whose  body  houses 
a  spirit,  violent  in  its  rebellion  against  the  system.  In  his  B-hole  office, 
lined  with  Book-of-the-Month  Club  selections,  Snowden  plays  the  Lord 
in  a  Plebe  heaven,  holds  court  with  the  more  serious  minded  discussionists, 
and  carries  on  his  Log  work.  Don't  let  that  "Gee,  but  I'm  handsome" 
look  fool  you.  Dragging  blind  once  too  often  has  soured  him  on  women. 
"A  great  friend  with  a  magnetic  personality,"  say  the  Plebes.  "Will  make 
the  best  of  shipmates,"  comment  the  upper  classes.  In  spite  of  grapenuts 
in  my  bed  at  taps,  sponged  coco-colas,  borrowed  shekels,  fights  without 
number  and  unbearable  insults  about  my  proboscis,  he's  the  best  friend  I 
ever  had.

"schnitzel"  "stooge" 

CAN  you  imagine  a  fighting  man  with  a  Boston  accent?  If  you  can, 
your  acquaintance  with  Schnitzel  is  half  begun.  His  has  been  a  four 
year  battle  to  let  in  fresh  air  through  the  windows,  maintain  his  part  of 
the  room  neat  against  all  invaders,  star,  and  achieve  a  4.0  standard  of 
personal  efficiency.  This  lusty  fourth  platooner  is  a  man  of  strong  likes 
and  dislikes.  His  liking  extends  to  one  woman  and  a  host  of  Plebes;  so 
much  that  they  call  him  the  Sea  Daddy.  His  athletic  ambitions  have 
made  him  a  fine  diver.  And  a  vigorous  mentality  has  interested  him  in 
many  subjects.  Oftentimes  his  activity  has  served  to  make  his  roommates 
realize  their  own  shortcomings.  Donald  (he  doesn't  like  Schnitzel)  is  hard 
to  please;  but  we  still  think  that  he  is  a  great  guy.

EDWIN  MONROE  WESTBROOK,  JR. 

Hollywood,  California

WE  all  like  Westy.  The  lad's  good  humor  has  brought  him  a  host 
of  friends,  and  he  has  established  a  reputation  as  the  man  for  an 
enlivening  bull-fest  or  a  rubber  of  bridge.  Westy  is  a  man  of  ideals  and 
ideas.  He  does  his  own  thinking — has  his  own  sense  of  values.  The  last 
mile  down  Stribling  to  Maury  has  been  merely  a  part  of  the  day's  work 
for  him.  Spring  sees  Westy,  a  true  Californian,  out  on  the  courts  with  the 
tennis  squad  turning  in  a  fast  game.  Drag?  .  .  .  Certainly,  exhibiting  ex- 
cellent taste  and  being  lucky  in  most  of  his  blind  ventures.  If  you  can 
coax  him  to  sing  without  accompanying  himself  on  his  trumpet  you  will 
be  well  entertained.  With  his  conviviality  and  social  assets  he  will  make 
a  good  fellow  officer.

GEORGE  HANDLEY  GILSON 
Valdez,  Alaska 
"wing  'n  wing" 

GEORGE  has  spent  a  large  part  of  his  time  here  explaining  to  people 
that  there  are  roads  in  Alaska  and  that  he  wasn't  reared  on  blubber 
and  dried  salmon.  In  fact,  he  exhibits  none  of  the  manners  commonly 
attributed  to  the  uncivilized  beings  and  would  be  delighted  to  be  regarded 
as  a  smoothie.  His  activities  have  consisted  of  good-natured  philosophy, 
raids  into  Crabtown,  and  in  convincing  himself  and  the  swimming  coach 
that  Alaskans  were  never  meant  to  be  amphibians.  His  own  appetite 
has  caused  him  to  be  generous  because  he  appreciates  others'  capacities. 
His  favorite  poetry  is  that  written  by  Service,  extolling  the  land  of  the 
Midnight  Sun.  Romantic,  he  declares  all  women  fickle  and  worries  as 
little  about  them  as  about  his  studies,  when  at  nine  o'clock  he  suggests, 
"Lets  turn  in."

JOHN  FREDERICK  BAUER 

North  Platte,  Nebraska 

"joe" 

JOE  doesn't  read  much  because  he  never  finds  the  time.  He  likes  sports, 
is  best  at  golf,  and  would  have  made  a  very  good  end  in  football,  as 
those  who  played  with  him  his  Plebe  year  can  attest,  but  his  studies 
kept  him  too  busy  to  allow  him  to  develop  his  end-playing  propensities. 
Besides  athletics  Joe  likes  dancing.  In  fact,  Joe  is  quite  smooth.  Not  until 
one  has  double-dated  with  him  several  times  does  one  realize  his  ability 
to  competently  handle  any  situation  that  may  arise.  He  deserves  the 
highest  tribute  that  one  can  pay  to  a  midshipman.  That  is  he's  sat  in 
common  sense.  Even  the  best  of  us  dope  off  occasionally  but  Joe  manages 
to  do  it  when  rto  one's  looking.  If  he  can  fool  the  skipper,  too,  watch 
this  man  in  the  Fleet. 


IRVIN  JACK  FRANKEL 
Blackwell,  Oklahoma 


FRANKIE 


OUR  black-eyed  boy  with  wavy  hair  to  match  was  lucky  to  escape 
the  name  of  Bright  Eyes.  As  a  wistful  Plebe,  the  youngest  in  '38, 
he  yearned  for  care-free  days  in  Oklahoma  and  bore  every  type  of  riding 
imaginable.  But  he  starred  that  year  and  when  he  took  a  Landing  Force 
Manual  to  Youngster  Calculus  he  laughed  with  his  oppressors.  His  sensi- 
tive nature  made  it  difficult  to  reconcile  high  and  definite  ideals  with  the 
remolding  of  Plebe  year.  But  he  did  it!  From  weak-squad  material  he 
has  developed  into  a  dependable  tackle  on  the  championship  battalion 
football  team,  increasing  his  stature  by  three  inches  in  the  process.  His 
intellectual  tastes  and  ability  have  kept  pace.  If  there  were  a  prize  for

EDMUNDO  GANDIA 
San  Juan,  Puerto  Rico 

"ed"  "mahatma" 

FROM  out  of  the  South  comes  this  caballero  of  few  words.  Ed  has  a 
knack  of  making  life  pleasant  for  his  classmates  and  incidentally 
helping  those  who  let  that  demon  Dago  get  the  upper  hand.  The  hops 
usually  find  him  in  attendance  navigating  his  way  through  the  couples  in 
an  extremely  nautical  manner.  Here  his  smiling  nature  and  gentlemanly, 
mature  attitudes  display  themselves  at  their  best.  He  delights  in  sailing 
when  the  weather  is  rough  and  the  tang  of  the  salty  spray  is  in  his  nostrils. 
At  boxing  and  swimming  Ed  can  hold  his  own  with  the  best.  Don't  let 
Ed's  gray  hair  fool  you.  He  didn't  get  it  from  worry.  Academics  never 
bothered  this  pride  of  Porto  Rico.  The  Fleet  will  gain  a  sturdy  son  of  the 
sea  when  Ed  is  graduated.  Best  wishes,  Ed!

MAC 


FROM  the  first  of  Plebe  summer  Mac  has  been  winning  our  hearts  by 
displaying  competence  in  many  fields.  His  uptilted  nose,  which  isn't 
his  fault  at  all,  really  has  a  right  to  be  that  way.  He  can  scorn  the  mark- 
merchants  if  he  chooses,  for  faithful  academic  effort  has  brought  him  a 
creditable  class  standing.  Study  hours  mean,  first,  boning;  next,  letters  to 
the  O.  A.  O.  and  finally  recreation — plain  skylarking.  He  is  determined 
to  do  his  best,  but  offers  this  best  in  all  humbleness.  If  you  would  know 
of  his  athletic  prowess  ask  any  class  or  battalion  backfield  that  has  tried 
to  sweep  his  end.  You'll  find  he's  good!  Mac's  program  of  intermingling 
the  good  times  demanded  by  his  sunny  nature,  with  serious  endeavor  will 
surely  "lead  his  steps  aright."

MEET  the  musical  genius  of  Thirty-eight  and — allow  him  his  ec- 
centricities !  It  is  enlightening  to  see  and  hear  him  bang  out  Navy 
Blue  and  Gold  on  a  toy  xylophone,  two  glasses  of  water,  an  alarm  clock, 
ash  tray,  and  an  old  shoe-horn.  During  Plebe  year  he  made  his  numerals  in 
wrestling;  but  that  year  Eddie  Peabody  gave  an  exhibition  of  what  could 
be  done  with  a  banjo  and  since  then  Connie  has  been  putting  him  to  shame 
at  the  expense  of  all  other  activity.  Combine  musical  talent  with  keen 
mind  and  wit,  and  a  good  deal  of  practical  sense  and  you  have  a  personality 
which  is  hard  to  beat.  Procrastination,  the  birthright  of  a  Southern 
gentleman,  is  his  chief  defect.  However,  many  a  good  officer  has  hailed 
from  Norfolk.

VIC  started  his  naval  career  at  the  Naval  Training  Station,  San  Diego, 
and  after  a  long  fought  battle  of  over  two  years  gained  his  admission 
to  the  Academy.  He  hails  from  California  and  is  known  to  possess  both 
perseverance  and  humor.  Log  circulation  and  wrestling  are  included  in 
his  hobbies — and  swimming.  Brunettes,  foreign  mail,  aviation,  and 
Packards  constitute  the  greater  part  of  his  weaknesses.  For  all  this  he 
remains  genuine  and  sincere,  and  takes  just  pride  in  a  neat  appearance. 
Versatility  is  another  of  his  characteristic  qualities.  He  is  equally  profi- 
cient with  the  pen  and  the  squilgee — to  say  nothing  of  his  ability  to  play 
a  violin.  In  short,  he  is  a  likeable,  all-around  good  fellow.  Keep  the  wind 
aft,  Vic,  continue  your  successful  voyage.  You  can't  lose.

FICKLE 'S  record  at  the  Academy  gives  great  promise  of  a  brilliant 
naval  career.  Since  the  first  Plebe  days  he  has  coupled  an  enviable 
scholastic  record  with  outstanding  prowess  in  three  major  sports  and 
numerous  minor  ones,  yet  has  never  been  known  to  brag  about  anything 
other  than  a  mythical  ability  as  a  cribbage  expert.  He  is  a  confirmed  "Mi- 
chael Rojo"  in  training,  but  is  noted  as  a  serpent  of  glittering  scales  at  all 
other  times.  His  irresistible  good  humor  and  exceptional  tall  stories  have 
made  him  popular  with  all  who  know  him.  The  fair  ones  actually  believe 
those  earnest  stories  and  that  guileless  countenance.  Among  his  little 
known  hobbies  are  sleigh  riding  and  ski-jumping  at  which  he  possesses 
an  awesome  endurance.  All  in  all.  he  is  a  good  friend  and  a  regular  fellow.

DETERMINATION  and  keen  wit  are  blended  in  this  small  package. 
Although  he  has  no  record  in  outdoor  athletics,  his  feats  are  known 
far  and  wide  in  the  afternoon  sessions.  His  good  common  sense  stands  him 
in  good  stead,  though  his  name  does  not  grace  the  honor  roll.  We  find 
him  popular  not  only  with  the  men  but  also  with  the  ladies  and  few  are 
the  hops  that  are  not  graced  by  his  presence.  Mac  used  to  boast  of  his 
home  podunk  but  his  long  absence  has  weaned  him  away  from  "that  home 
in  Indiana."  His  interest  in  aviation  has  been  one  of  his  rare  consistencies 
and  those  in  doubt  as  to  his  study  in  this  line  may  engage  him  in  a  dis- 
course on  aerial  navigation  and  new  types  of  aircraft  engines.  Here's  to 
many  happy  landings  for  a  regular  fellow.

him  some  of  that  warm  Pacific  sunshine  in  his  ever  ready  smile 
that  has  brightened  so  many  days  here.  He  has  always  preferred  Cosmo  to 
Dutton  and  yet  has  survived  the  attacks  of  the  Academics  with  little 
trouble.  Sampling  every  branch  of  athletics  before  finding  his  true  love  on 
the  small-bore  range,  he  won  his  "N"  the  first  year  out.  To  the  despair  of 
the  fair  sex  he  has  devoted  his  talents  to  the  O.A.O.  since  Youngster  year, 
once  almost  to  the  extent  of  leaving  us  for  married  bliss.  But  he's  with  us

never  seemed  to  take  interest  in  wearing  same  for  he  was  more  interested  in 
finding  out  just  why  things  ticked  in  practice.  Hence  he's  one  of  the  best  in- 
formed we  have.  He's  very  popular  within  his  own  group  and  is  highly  re- 
spected by  all.  He's  a  good  end  on  class  and  battalion  teams  and  a  good 
rifleman.  His  snaking  is  not  too  serious.  We'll  miss  his  cheery  smile  and 
pleasant  word  not  to  mention  someone  of  whom  to  ask  "How  do  you  get

POSSESSED  of  exceptionally  good  humor  and  a  ready  smile,  Al  makes 
friends  easily.  Even  when  he  entered  the  Academy  and  was  fitted  with 
a  suit  many  times  too  large  for  him,  his  sense  of  humor  came  to  the  top. 
This  spirit  has  helped  him  over  many  difficulties  including  Academics. 
Boxing  is  his  only  athletic  interest  although  he  also  goes  out  for  track  to 
keep  in  condition.  He  has  missed  only  one  hop  during  three  years  and  that 
only  because  of  an  unfortunate  accident.  One  would  think  he  would  be  a 
"Volunteer,"  hailing  from  Pennsylvania,  but  he  is  definitely  a  "minute 
man."  Axel  is  a  true  lover  of  classical  music,  blondes,  and  fast  horses.  He 
is  an  exceptionally  good  rider.  Although  very  susceptible,  he  maintains  he 
will  remain  a  bachelor.

THE  Marine  Reserves  gave  '38  this  solid  member.  A  year  at  Maryland 
U.  climaxed  Bill's  civilian  career.  Bill  has  preferred  to  remain  in  the 
background  so  that  few  of  us  really  know  him  well.  He  proved  himself  a 
good  sport  under  the  Plebe  summer  tricks  of  playful  wives.  Academics  ne- 
cessitated plenty  of  hard  work,  but  Bill  was  always  sat  at  the  crucial  mo- 
ments. One  of  his  chief  virtues  is  an  endless  capacity  for  hard  work.  He 
hasn't  participated  much  in  organized  athletics,  but  his  ability  to  shoot 
earned  his  recognition  in  that  line.  Because  of  a  slight  physical  handicap 
the  quarter  mile  gym  test  has  taken  plenty  of  hard  work  to  master.  Os- 
tensibly a  Red  Mike,  Woozie  is  especially  snaky  in  regard  to  Dixieland

will  win  those  coveted  wings.

AHOOSIER  from  'way  back,  Peter,  attracted  by  the  smell  of  tar  and 
salt,  joined  us  in  the  everlasting  chase  of  the  elusive  1.5.  Guarded 
by  the  infallible  arrows  of  Tecumseh,  he  has  withstood  the  repeated 
threats  of  the  Academic  Departments  and  has  launched  himself  into  the 
Navy  with  hopes  of  sprouting  wings.  Outstanding  in  the  breast  stroke, 
Roy  clinched  a  No.  1  position  on  Navy's  swimming  team  early  Youngster 
Year  and  set  a  new  pool  record  during  that  season.  He  has  also  acquired 
the  phenomenal  ability  of  stepping  out  of  the  shower  as  formation  sounds 
and  into  ranks  more  or  less  in  full  uniform  at  late  bell.  His  suppressed 
love  for  music  has  occasionally  broken  forth,  much  to  the  dismay  of  his 
inappreciative  wives.  Non-reg,  congenial — especially  when  they  are  being 
mixed,  happy-go-lucky,  and  a  real  pal.

has  been  combining  the  two.  Increasing  rotundity  caused  difficulties  in  the

IN  this  "Stronghold  of  Mediocrity"  all  is  not  lost — we  are  not  all 
mechanized,  systematized  robots.  The  proof?  Gus !  Gus  has  unwittingly 
supplied  more  laughs  for  his  friends  than  any  of  radio's  hired  help.  Al 
though  distinctly  not  a  professional  type,  Gus  is  subject  to,  shall  we  say, 
amnesia?  As  he  explains  it,  "I  just  can't  control  my  subconscious  mind." 
To  misquote  Goethe  as  completely  as  possible:  "Though  he  cannot  choose 
but  err,  yet  he  aspires  unweariedly."  No  one  has  worked  any  harder  over 
his  studies  than  Dick;  and  if  perhaps  he  has  never  starred,  his  class  number 
has  steadily  diminished.  Also,  in  the  realm  of  personal  philosophy,  Dick 
has  done  considerable  thinking  with  kaleidoscopic  results.  As  a  friend? 
Well,  after  four  years  of  his  singing,  I'm  still  asking  for  more.  Hasta

THE  apple  country  around  Wenatchee  can  well  be  proud  of  this  Wash-

academic  complex;  with  a  sound  sense  of  humor  he  readily  adapts  himself 
to  any  occasion.  A  fellow  who  reads  everything  he  can  lay  a  hand  on,  he  is 
an  authority  on  current  events.  Formation  time  often  finds  him  in  the 
shower,  just  up  from  a  session  with  Esquire.  Giving  much  spare  time  to  the 
soccer  field  and  the  boxing  ring  Bob  has  developed  into  a  veritable  V-man. 
Since  youngster  Christmas  leave  women  have  enjoyed  little  attention  from 
our  Apollo.  Rumor  has  it  that  a  classmate  from  the  Fourth  Wing  resigned 
to  cinch  the  object  of  Bob's  holiday  investments.  Energetic,  dependable, 
sincere,  our  best  wishes  go  out  with  him  for  well-merited  success.

the  scuttlebutt;  ask  him  and  the  dope  is  yours.  Give  him  a  stalk  of  ba- 
nanas, a  bowl  of  chile,  a  quart  of  milk  and  you  are  his  friend  for  life.  Neat, 
phlegmatic,  and  friendly,  we  give  him  to  the  Fleet.

DAVID  PRESCOTT  HALL 

High  Bridge,  New  Jersey 

"dippy" 

WHEN  you  see  a  broad  smile,  a  pair  of  twinkling  eyes,  and  a  crop 
of  chestnut  hair  (that  enchants  feminine  fingers)  coming  toward 
you — that's  Dippy.  He  never  cracks  a  book  wider  than  enough  to  take  a 
peek  but  reads  all  the  magazines  he  can  find,  which  proves  that  he  is 
always  sat,  and  a  lot  savvier  than  his  grades  indicate.  Dippy's  pet  yens 
are  dragging  and  boxing,  but  his  pet  hate  is  bells.  Due  to  Spike  Webb's 
tutelage  he  is  a  little  bit  that  way.  He  is  non-reg,  always  happy,  loves 
'em  all  at  the  same  time,  and  is-  a  better  pal  than  most  people  deserve, 
but  we  let  the  Fleet  have  him  knowing  that  they  will  profit  by  his  presence 
as  we  have.

JAMES  EDWIN  TINLING 

Lakewood,  Ohio 

"jimmy" 

FROM  Lakewood,  Ohio,  comes  this  future  Fred  Astaire,  bringing  with 
him  a  mania  for  dancing,  cross  country  hikes  (with  feminine  accom- 
paniment, of  course),  and  an  awful  taste  for  loud  shirts.  James  hasn't  let 
four  strenuous  years  at  the  Naval  College  take  away  his  natural  desire  to 
have  a  good  time,  and  nearly  every  hop  sees  him  whirling  around  the  floor 
with  the  best  of  them.  His  favorite  drags  are  of  all  kinds,  especially  red- 
heads, while  his  athletic  prowess  manifests  itself  in  the  form  of  half-miles 
in  the  spring  and  gyrations  on  the  horizontal  bar  in  the  winter.  His  ambi- 
tion is  a  successful  career  in  the  submarine  branch  of  the  service,  and  if  his 
stay  at  the  academy  is  any  indication,  he  is  well  on  his  'way  towards 
achieving  that  goal.

LOUIS  KENNETH  BLISS 
Flint,  Michigan 


LOUIE 


FROM  a  back-woods  boy  in  the  wilds  of  Michigan  to  a  suave  midship- 
man in  the  great  Annapolis  institution:  so  reads  Louie's  story  of 
success.  Although  versed  in  all  of  the  Navy's  various  fields  of  endeavor, 
his  prize  hobby  is  firearms,  and  each  spring  our  hero  may  be  found  shooting 
away  the  taxpayers'  money  on  the  outdoor  rifle  range.  In  the  winter  Louie 
calms  down  and  confines  his  bloodthirsty  nature  to  the  fencing  loft  where 
he  is  more  than  proficient  with  the  sabre.  Seldom  a  hop  occurs  that  doesn't 
find  him  joining  the  fight  in  the  armory,  with  drags  many  and  varied. 
To  those  who  know  him,  Louie  is  classed  as  a  regular  fellow,  and  we  feel 
certain  that  his  accomplishments  as  an  officer  will  reflect  nothing  but 
credit-  on  his  training  as  a  Midshipman.

JOHN  MICHAEL  BOWERS 

Piedmont,  California 
"johnny" 

HAVING  followed  his  family  from  South  America  to  Washington, 
D.  C,  China,  and  California,  our  John  must  have  wanted  to  travel 
himself,  for  he  came  to  the  Naval  Academy.  John's  stay  in  California 
instilled  in  him  enough  of  the  "California  promoter"  spirit  to  make  him 
an  ever-flowing  source  of  humorous  intrigue.  He  has  furnished  us  enough 
laughs  to  more  than  make  up  for  nearly  driving  us  crazy.  Insight,  argu- 
mentation, and  command  of  the  language  might  have  made  John  a  lawyer 
or  a  politician,  if  Second  Class  summer  had  not  determined  him  to  be  a 
naval  aviator.  John  has  traveled  a  long  way  toward  success  during  his 
stay  within  these  walls,  and  the  outside  will  furnish  him  many  more 
opportunities.  May  the  future  find  him  flying  high.

Grand  Forks,  North  Dakota 


swede 


THIS  blue-eyed  ex-gob  from  North  Dakota,  with  a  cheerful  smile  al- 
ways ready  for  a  friend,  is  a  snake  for  one,  and  only  one,  a  trait  de- 
veloped since  he  arrived  here.  The  flow  of  that  "perfect  fluid"  from  his 
vocal  chords  never  ceases  until  he  has  completely  exhausted  the  supply  of 
gas  which  makes  vibration  of  the  chords  possible — and  then  he  takes 
another  deep  breath.  The  Quarter  Deck  Society  certainly  missed  a  good 
man.  Shipmates  will  always  find  a  willing  and  vociferous  sea-lawyer  on 
board.  His  visions  of  becoming  Sigon  II,  were  shattered.  His  hobby  is 
model  ship-building — having  put  three  in  bottles  already.  Lucky  the  ship 
that  he  calls  home,  for  they'll  have  a  "man"  aboard,  and  '38  may  well 
wish  him  luck — he'll  have  it  anyway.

AN  independent  son  of  the  South,  a  cracker,  a  rebel,  a  salt,  and  a 
JLA_  grappler  both  in  practice  and  theory.  When  he  was  not  being  worked 
to  a  lather,  grappling  with  the  academics,  he  was  grappling  with  a  four 
inch  manila  hawser — his  ultimate  aim — to  climb  the  rope.  Between  these 
two  hazards  he  found  time  to  amuse  and  abuse  his  comrades  in  the  wrest- 
ling loft.  His  philosophy  of  life  is  embodied  in  the  phrase — "Right  or 
wrong,  let's  do  it  my  -way."  Needless  to  add  you  won't  go  too  wrong  if 
you  follow  his  shrewd  and  sagacious  ideas.  Ski  has  cherished  the  friend- 
ship of  many,  both  with  the  ladies  and  with  his  fellow  men  at  the  Naval 
Academy.  With  all  of  them  he  has  a  way  of  his  own.  Good  luck,  Harry!

BEN 


SOMEHOW  the  word  filtered  through  to  South  Dakota  that  there 
really  were  oceans  and  navies  in  existence.  To  verify  it  South  Dakota 
sent  a  worthy  representative — Paul.  Peppy,  good-natured,  athletic,  with 
a  personality  that  has  won  the  friendship  of  all  who  know  him,  Paul 
stands  out  from  the  rank  and  file  of  wives.  He  believes  in  giving  everything, 
including  academics,  an  even  break,  and  consequently,  though  ever  vic- 
torious, has  emerged  from  the  four-year  struggle  with  honorable  scars. 
Though  not  definitely  a  snake,  he  won  letters  Youngster  year  and  numerals 
Plebe  and  Second  Class  years  in  this  fascinating  activity,  many  a  scale 
having  been  lost  on  those  Saturday  night  dashes.  Paul  loses  his  academic 
laziness  when  the  question  turns  from  the  theoretical  to  the  practical,  and 
consequently  the  future  can  hold  no  fears  for  him.

MYLES  FRANCIS  HARR 
quakertown,  pennsylvania 
"flash"  "swabo" 

FROM  the  wooded  section  of  Pennsylvania,  hails  this  fair-headed 
product  of  Quakertown.  After  graduating  from  high  school,  Myles 
had  an  inclination  for  a  military  career  but  found  West  Point  appoint- 
ments filled.  The  Military  Academy's  loss  was  the  Navy's  gain.  Endowed 
with  a  pleasing  personality,  and  a  ready  smile  Myles  has  made  many 
friends  during  his  sojourn  here.  With  a  searching,  intellectually  combative 
attitude,  Myles  has  found  no  terrors  in  academics.  Most  of  his  athletic 
endeavors  have  been  directed  against  the  sub-squad  whose  threats  have 
spoiled  many  dreams  of  Chrismas  leave.  He  has  a  flair  for  the  ladies  but 
eyes  only  for  one  whose  picture  has  adorned  his  locker  door  all  four  years. 
Much  of  his  time  has  been  taken  up  in  escaping  the  wiles  of  the  others. 
We  predict  success  in  every  endeavor.

mac 


THERE  was  once  a  little  boy  who  liked  his  sailor  suits  and  toy  boats. 
When  he  grew  too  old  for  these  amusements,  he  decided  to  come  to 
the  Academy  where  he  could  continue  in  his  youthful  pleasures  on  a 
larger  scale.  But  there  followed  a  relentless  attack  on  the  Academic 
stronghold  which  always  gained  him  more  than  a  tie.  This  same  push 
carried  him  on  in  football,  baseball,  and  basketball,  his  captaincy  of  the 
latter  attesting  to  his  excellence  on  the  wood.  But  Mac  didn't  use  this 
agressiveness  in  his  affairs  of  the  heart;  here  he  relied  more  on  his  cherubic 
countenance,  dancing  eyes,  and  slow  smile  to  conquer  the  heart  of  the 
most  obstreperous  female,  with  a  batting  average  that  would  make  the 
best  of  the  big  leaguers  look  to  their  laurels.  And  we  are  firmly  convinced 
that  Alan's  dying  words  will  be  "Two  beers."

NOT  one  to  worry  or  contemplate  the  future,  this  smiling  son  of  Ard- 
more has  always  had  enough  to  come  through  in  the  pinch,  when 
the  going  was  toughest.  Gifted  with  more  than  average  intellect,  he  has 
evidenced  more  interest  in  magazines  and  women  than  in  text  books,  so 
that  examinations  have  sometimes  proved  quite  dangerous.  Any  night  will 
find  him  stretched  out  on  his  bunk  reading  the  latest  periodical  fiction, 
unauthorized  by  the  Academic  Departments.  For  one  who  professed  him- 
self a  Red  Mike,  Bob  has  been  disappointing.  He  has  not  missed  a  social 
function  yet,  nor  will  he  in  the  future.  Agreeable,  humorous,  and  very 
generous  is  lackadaisical  Bob.  But  everyone  (including  the  femmes)  will 
remember  his  beaming  smile.  His  congeniality  and  thoughtfulness  will 
carry  him  through  a  successful  and  happy  life.

IRWIN  THORPE  BROOKS 

Monico,  Wisconsin 


IF  anyone  should  ask  you  what  you  think  of  Mrs.  Brooks'  little  boy  Ike, 
you  would  probably  say  "What  a  magnetic  personality!"  and  the  gals, 
"Isn't  he  just  too  adorable!"  He  generally  succeeds  in  getting  everything 
he  wants.  He  has  a  good  knowledge  of  human  nature,  a  keen  sense  of 
humor,  and  a  most  generous  appreciation  of  the  cultural  aspect  of  life.  Ike 
stands  for  what  is  right.  He  goes  about  his  own  business  without  much 
fuss.  Gets  by  without  much  boning — the  hardest  work  he  did  in  his  first 
two  years  was  to  keep  some  of  his  pals  above  the  danger  line.  If  his  eyes 
hold  out,  he'll  make  one  of  our  crack  flyers.  Otherwise,  the  diplomatic 
corps  should  claim  his  ability  as  a  statesman.  "And  his  face  lit  up  with  a 
smile  of  joy  as  an  angel  dream  passed  o'er  him."

JUNE  8,  1934:  Midshipman  Brown  reporting  for  pool  duty,  sir!  He's 
been  at  it  ever  since,  though  his  deep  friendship  for  Mr.  Ortland  has 
not  kept  him  from  putting  his  untiring  energy  into  the  one  he-man  sport 
around  here — crew  to  you  unlearned  sages.  In  studies,  too,  Bill  just  goes 
unsat  for  the  sport  in  it,  always  jumping  the  line  just  before  time  for  leave. 
Nearly  a  confirmed  Red  Mike  he  does  break  down  periodically,  the  dates 
coinciding  almost  to  a  moment  with  visits  to  the  old  homestead  in  New 
York  or  visits  of  that  certain  young  lady  to  fair  Annapolis.  To  those  of  us 
who  know  him  best,  Bill  is  just  about  tops.  He  can  take  it  as  ■well  as  dish 
it  out.  And  right  now  he's  eyeing  a  flag  with  four  stars  in  it,  no  less.  Here's 
to  him.

CLEON  JUDSON  HOLDEN 

TlCONDEROGA,  NEW  YORK 


THE  hops  come  and  go  and  so  does  Cleo;  he  goes  to  all  of  them.  He  is 
first  to  chow,  first  to  bed,  and  last  to  sing  the  blues.  With  no  fear  of 
academics  after  exams  are  over,  he  spends  his  time  answering  his  stacks  of 
fan  mail.  Many  a  poor  maid's  stationery  reposes  on  his  desk  awaiting  a 
spare  moment  in  Cleo's  busy  life.  He  has  dabbled  in  various  sports,  but 
none  have  successfully  retained  the  young  athlete's  interests.  He  is  always 
ready  to  argue,  frequently  downing  his  roommate  with  good  sound  logic. 
On  many  a  dreary  Sunday  afternoon  the  strains  of  some  beautiful  sym- 
phony orchestra  may  be  heard  issuing  from  this  music  lover's  room.  Four 
years  of  domestic  bliss  is  mute  testimony  to  Cleo's  ability  to  be  a  lawyer, 
judge,  and  roommate.

YEAH  man!"  "I'm  a  soft  dog!"  "Don't  care  if  I  do!"  No  matter 
where  we  heard  them  spoken  in  those  first  three  years,  it  had  to  be 
Bobo.  Hailing  from  "the  hub  of  the  Harlem  Valley,"  Bo  has  given  his 
podunk  what  podunks  ask  of  their  native  sons.  Nothing  less  than  amazing 
have  been  the  feats  of  this  185  pound  cross  country  and  track  ace.  The  only 
academic  worry  he  knows  is  the  fight  with  his  conscience  to  determine 
whether  to  master  or  to  be  mastered.  In  either  course  he  is  successful.  He 
considers  man's  greatest  vice  to  be  "failure  to  get  the  word."  Boundless 
energy  and  a  will  to  be  doing  things  will  spell  his  success.  As  a  roommate 
and  a  friend — a  four-year  term  speaks  for  itself.

JOHN  JOSEPH  WALSH 

Baltimore,  Maryland 

"bucky"  "red" 

DEUCES  were  wild  and  look  what  we  drew  — Mother's  joy  and  the 
Navy's  despair  was  handed  down  to  us  to  have  and  to  hold,  for 
better  or  for  worse,  to  swear  by  and  at.  Starting  off  with  a  bang,  Bucky 
wanted  to  be  both  good  student  and  athlete,  so  Plebe  summer  found  him 
out  for  his  favorite  sports  of  boxing,  wrestling,  and  crew  coxswain.  How- 
ever, when  the  trees  enveloped  him  in  their  branches,  he  decided  that  one 
thing  well  done  is  better  than  two  halfway — he  dropped  athletics.  During 
the  subsequent  four  years  of  persistent  and  conscientious  effort  Bucky 
made  the  grade,  the  squads  (sub,  ship,  etc.)  won  our  hearts  and  the 
sobriquet:  "subcalibre;"  but  don't  let  his  size  fool  you,  for  there's  enough 
T.  N.  T.  packed  in  that  frame  to  propel  him  a  long  way  in  our  universe.

"swede" 

FROM  far  out  younder  where  the  lumberjacks  grow  comes  this  very 
good-natured  Swede.  It  would  seem  that  the  big  trees  of  the  evergreen 
state  imbue  in  a  fellow  a  love  of  fun  that  makes  him  liked  by  everyone. 
Rarely  serious,  always  easy  going,  the  Swede's  inordinate  desire  to  sky- 
lark coupled  with  a  very  fertile  mind  have  furnished  laughs  on  any  num- 
ber of  occasions.  However  he's  a  good  sport  and  when  some  of  his  victims 
retaliate  with  more  than  they  receive  he  laughs  it  off  and  goes  to  work  on 
a  new  idea.  Ever  the  "Plebe's  friend,"  his  fund  of  pertinent  dope  has  made 
him  an  oracle  to  which  the  knowledge-thirsty  "untouchables"  are  sent 
for  the  answers.  Compositely,  Swede  is  a  complacent  hard-working 
Semi-Red  Mike  possessed  with  a  delightful  manner  of  bumming  cigarettes 
and  an  ability  to  make  friends  with  everyone.

KNOWN  throughout  the  class  for  his  happy  spirit  and  friendliness 
Mike  presents  an  example  for  many.  His  most  grateful  friends  are 
those  wooden  members  of  the  class  who  in  time  of  need  have  received  the 
cheerfully  given  answers  to  many  stubborn  problems,  and  the  light  to 
carry  them  through.  Mike  carries  his  starring  from  the  academic  to  the 
athletic  field  where  he  strives  for  what  we  suspect  is  his  ambition,  an  N*. 
His  determination  to  improve  in  lacrosse,  the  one  sport  he  had  never  be- 
fore undertaken,  shows  his  will  to  succeed  and  his  wish  to  tackle  some- 
thing new.  With  his  experience,  gained  undoubtedly  from  his  regular  ap- 
pearance at  the  hops,  Mike  has  been  more  than  a  friend  to  those  in  need  of 
good  advice,  in  this,  his  other  conquered  field.

BOB  is  quiet  and  unassuming,  but  he  will  defend  his  honor  at  any  time 
with  anyone  on  the  mat  in  MacDonough  Hall.  Varied  though  his 
achievements  are,  his  ability  as  a  grappler  tops  them  all.  Bob's  great  am- 
bition is  to  win  an  "wNt,"  but  he  does  not  let  that  desire  overshadow  the 
fact  that  he  would  like  to  star  in  Dago.  Pop,  for  so  he  has  been  called  since 
his  pre-Academy  days,  derives  infinite  pleasure  in  praising  his  favorite 
state,  Connecticut,  where,  as  he  will  readily  admit,  tickets  are  given  for 
speeding  for  no  reason  whatsoever.  Bob  is  not  unaffected  by  the  midship- 
man's greatest  weakness,  women,  for  in  his  time  many  have  come  and 
gone.  Robert's  amiable  personality  and  his  willingness  to  help  (whenever 
he  has  the  wherewithal)  have  made  him  well  liked  by  all.

AFTER  vainly  endeavoring  for  five  years  to  accumulate  credits  in  high 
jlA_  school,  H.  H.  decided  to  transfer  his  talents  to  our  own  institution. 
Once  here,  he  has  become  noted  for  his  ability  to  stay  on  the  line.  If  he 
miscalculates  some  month  and  gets  as  high  as  a  3.0,  he  is  morose  for 
weeks,  dreading  his  classmates'  scornful  glances.  He  has  become  one  of  the 
more  famous  Fourth  Batt.  snakes  and  is  noted  for  the  number  of  femmes 
that  he  has  left  stranded  by  the  wayside.  Enigmatically,  though,  he  has 
always  remained  loyal  to  the  one  girl.  For  weeks  before  her  trips  to  the 
shores  of  the  Severn,  he  starves,  pines,  and  even  sulks  in  the  shower.  He 
always  recovers,  however,  and  turns  into  himself  again,  a  regular  fellow 
and  a  swell  roommate.

WHEN  he  left  the  Alabama  cotton  fields,  Toots  brought  his  southern 
sunshine  with  him  into  these  grey  walls.  But  although  his  cheer- 
ful disposition  makes  him  the  friend  of  all,  he  will  never  forget  the  pleas-

with  academy  life,  but  homesick,  lovesick,  or  seasick,  he  will  do  well 
wherever  he  goes.  Serious,  earnest,  and  conscientious,  he  has  held  to  his 
work  believing  that  he  does  well  only  when  he  does  his  best.  Toots  has  a 
Southern  gentleman's  liking  for  good  food  and  beautiful  ladies.  Ever  see

WHO  doesn't  like  a  person  possessed  of  a  radiant  good  nature  and  an

fellow  and  yet  with  his  own  definite  opinions  when  they  are  called  for. 
Moreover,  he's  always  ready  to  meet  you  more  than  halfway,  doing  those 
little  things  termed  thoughtful  and  being  constantly  willing  to  share  with 
others.  And  does  he  ever  worry?  Not  that  you  know  of.  He  says  that  he 
wants  to  live  a  long  time.  His  favorite  subjects  are  those  that  deal  so 
many  of  us  misery — those  of  a  mathematical  nature.  His  calculations  are 
swift  and  certain.  While  not  a  great  athlete,  Jimmy  derives  much  pleasure 
from  tennis,  golf,  and  basketball.  (He  swings  a  mean  racquet,  too.)  And

IN  coming  to  the  Naval  Academy  Frank  continued  a  career  begun  two 
years  before  as  one  of  Uncle  Sam's  bluejackets.  During  his  four  years 
here  he  has  shown  that  he  has  the  qualities  that  make  a  good  naval  officer. 
Academics  have  held  no  fear  for  "Ski,"  as  he  stands  well  up  in  that 
coveted  upper  half.  Hard  work  is  nothing  new  to  him,  and  it  is  through 
this  medium  that  he  has  attained  his  standing.  Women  are  just  a  passing 
fancy;  his  thoughts  are  mostly  of  those  at  home.  He  possesses  a  very  subtle 
sense  of  humor  which  makes  him  enjoyable  company  anywhere,  "Ski's" 
devotion  to  the  Navy  is  very  apparent.  In  his  own  words  the  Navy  is  a 
fraternity  of  real  men  imbued  with  a  common  love  for  the  Service  and  its 
mission.

His  appealing  personality  has  won  for  him  the  unquestionable  friend-

skirmishes  with  the  Academic  Departments.  He  was  never  guilty  of  study- 
ing more  than  was  necessary  to  earn  ai.5.  Perhaps  this  is  true  because  Bob 
is  so  fond  of  reclining  in  the  arms  of  Morpheus .  He  derives  his  greatest  en- 
joyment in  the  company  of  the  fair  sex.  Seldom,  if  ever,  does  he  fail  to  at-

himself  in  that  "crazy-man's  game."  Savvy  enough  to  keep  a  couple  of

Miles  refuses  to  be  worried  by  the  Academic  Departments,  and  with  good 
reason,  for  he  has  come  through  every  engagement  with  them  quite  suc- 
cessfully. His  ability  to  learn  quickly  has  enabled  him  to  beat  the  system

TWO  years  at  the  University  of  North  Carolina  and  Bill  was  ripe  for 
the  Naval  School.  He  learned  early  to  laugh  at  the  academics  and  to 
dismiss  the  Executive  Department  with  a  cheery  "you  can't  win,  so  why 
worry?."  Soft-spoken  and  unassuming,  his  excellent  cultural  background 
makes  him  a  gifted  conversationalist  when  the  spirit  moves  him.  His 
taste  for  good  literature  has  kept  his  mind  from  becoming  stagnant. 
Reading  is  his  hobby — he  collects  ideas  even  as  others  collect  postage 
stamps.  He  likes  intelligent  girls  (he  knows  only  one),  Rob't  Burns' 
Panatelas,  cribbage,  and  Teacher's.  He  dislikes  talkative  people,  the 
system,  anything  strenuous,  and  buying  shoe-polish.  A  gifted  person  with

pulses are  consistently  happy  ones.  Academics  have  never  figured  among 
his  major  worries.  Devoting  his  odd  moments  to  letter-writing  and  acting, 
he  has  become  of  great  value  to  the  Post  Office  and  to  Masqueraders.  After 
finding  the  "One  Girl"  Second  Class  Summer,  he  joined  the  ranks  of 
snakes  gone  wrong.  He  meets  each  day  with  a  cheery  zest  that  will  carry 
him  far.

FREDERICK  KRUPP 

Boston,  Massachusetts 


FREDDIE 


FROM  the  wilds  of  Boston,  our  own  Freddie  emigrated  to  Crabtown, 
bringing  with  him  his  celebrated  accent.  The  Steam  Department, 
bogey  of  all  midshipmen,  nearly  ensnared  him  Plebe  year  but  the  wheels 
began  to  turn  in  the  old  cranium  and  since  that  time  Fred  has  had  more 
than  his  share  in  velvet  in  academic  subjects.  Fred's  three  great  accomplish- 
ments are  eating,  sleeping,  and  going  on  leave.  He  distinguished  himself 
by  his  onslaught  on  '35  on  Hundredth  Night,  thus  making  up  for  the 
hectic  Plebe  year  he  experienced.  Inheriting  the  typical  New  England 
interest  in  major  league  baseball,  Fred  is  a  fervent  fan  and  is  quite  pro- 
ficient himself  behind  the  home  plate.  Popular  with  his  classmates,  a  fine 
roommate,  and  a  great  all-around  man,  Fred,  with  his  practical  ability, 
should  find  himself  some  day  in  an  admiral's  cabin.

"pat"  "irish" 

WITH  a  fighting  Irish  spirit,  Pat  passed  through  No.  3  Gate  de- 
termined to  carve  himself  a  name  in  the  glorious  tradition  of  the 
Navy.  His  desire  to  carve  soon  won  him  an  "N"  for  his  prowess  with  the 
sword.  In  the  ring  Pat  can  cut  down  an  opponent  with  his  machine-gun- 
action  left  jab  as  easily  as  he  could  knock  down  a  3.9  in  a  Plebe  steam 
exam.  The  battle  with  the  Academic  and  Executive  Departments  was  an 
overwhelming  victory  for  this  gallivanting  Irishman.  Gracing  the  ranks 
of  Red  Mikes  for  almost  two  years,  Pat  finally  fell  under  the  influence  of  a 
certain  fascinating  girl.  To  us  of  '38  Pat  has  become  synonymous  with  all 
the  virtues  that  go  to  make  up  an  ideal  officer  and  a  gentleman.  Good  luck 
to  you  always,  Pat.

BUSTER 


TWO  years  as  a  National  Guard  machine  gunner  proved  to  Woody  that 
the  Army  was  no  life  for  him,  and  he  entered  the  Academy  with  lots 
of  enthusiasm  for  everything  except  the  academics.  Always  in  the  anchor 
sections,  alphabetical  arrangement  of  course,  Woody  is  a  staunch  advocate 
of  securing  until  "the  Superintendent  notes  with  concern."  Cultural  bene- 
fits of  the  Plebe  year  table  awakened  a  deep  interest  in  all  things  naval, 
which  culminated  in  the  acquisition  of  the  Janes  the  whole  Batt.  uses. 
His  hobbies  are  cooking  and  mountain  climbing.  The  mountains  have  to 
wait  until  leave,  but  he  is  always  ready  to  prove  himself  as  a  cook.  The 
Boat  Club  crowd  and  their  drags  will  remember  Harry  as  the  "Turtle's" 
genial  chef,  who  could  always  rustle  up  a  good  meal.  Keep  that  wide 
open  friendly  smile,  Woodv,  and  you  can't  lose.

FEMME  ho!  "Time  to  turn  on  that  personality  line,  Fletch."  All  you 
people  who  drop  in  the  room  now  and  then  know  there's  always  a 
grin  and  a  cheery  "hello"  waiting  inside.  Bob  has  been  a  big  help  to  all 
who  come  to  seek  knowledge.  Whether  it's  a  freshman  wanting  Jellicoe's 
battle  line  at  Jutland,  or  a  classmate  desiring  the  easiest  exit  from  these 
high  walls,  an  answer  is  always  waiting.  That  crop  of  slightly  red  hair, 
which  didn't  seem  quite  that  color  before  "country-club  summer,"  is  al- 
ways in  the  midst  of  things  at  our  social  functions.  Lately,  though,  the 
hops  have  had  to  take  second  place  to  week-ends  aboard  the  good  ketch 
"Turtle,"  about  which  fantastic  tales  circulate.  So  whether  you  meet  him

WILLIAM  JAMES  TATE,  JR. 

Baltimore,  Maryland 
"jim"  "bill" 

A  SUPERLATIVE  member  of  the  class  of  1938,  Jimmy  Tate,  curly- 
haired  and  smiling,  is  one  of  our  youngest  classmates.  Sometimes 
known  as  Bill  and  other  times  as  Jim  or  Jimmy,  he's  always  the  same 
smiling  sincere  character.  With  eagerness  and  determination,  Jimmy  came 
directly  to  the  Naval  Academy  from  Forest  Park  High  School  in  Balti- 
more. We  are  aware  of  Jim's  sterling  inheritance  as  a  supple-bodied  athlete, 
with  Irish  determination,  and  natural  nautical  interests.  Perhaps  his 
knowledge  and  ability  in  boat  handling  drew  his  interest  to  the  Severn 
and  to  the  long  oars  of  crew.  Too  light  to  wield  an  oar  with  the  Academy's 
six-footers,  he  was  chosen  as  manager  of  crew  early  in  his  second  class 
year.  Although  too  light  to  participate  in  the  major  sports,  he  is  their 
greatest  supporter.  Here  is  the  portrayal  of  will  and  determination.

CYRIL  EDMUND  EMRICH 

Casey,  Illinois 

"cy" 

WITH  previous  military  experience  Cy  soon  found  his  place  in  our 
organization.  From  the  first  he  was  recognized  as  a  leader  in  our 
class.  His  military  attitude  and  crisp  commands  are  familiar  to  all  his 
friends.  Off  the  drill  field,  he  is  remembered  as  a  very  forceful  speaker.  His 
views  are  so  well  thought  out  that  they  are  nigh  unchangeable.  Although 
using  elaborate  phrases  to  express  his  thoughts,  Cy  discards  culture  and 
grits  his  teeth  on  the  gridiron.  The  force  of  his  drive  in  football,  and  his 
speed  on  the  basketball  court,  have  earned  him  the  name  of  "Cyclone." 
However,  this  vitality  and  determination  is  exceeded  only  by  a  personality 
in  which  good  humor  is  prominent.  His  weakness  is,  need  we  say,  a  blonde.

DOUG  is  one  who  apportions  his  time  judiciously  among  academics, 
athletics,  and  self-improvement.  It  didn't  matter  to  him  what  went 
down  in  the  little  red  book;  he  applied  himself  to  a  subject  for  what  it 
was  worth.  He  found  his  best  times  in  Dahlgren  Hall  at  a  fast  game  of 
basketball,  or  at  a  full  evening  of  dancing,  and  afternoon  or  evening,  he 
always  enjoyed  coming  back  exhausted.  He  changed  his  hobby  with  every 
wind,  from  "piano  in  seven  easy  lessons"  to  amateur  radio,  then  to 
astronomy.  He  read  philosophy  hoping  to  find  his  own.  He  was  seldom 
satisfied,  but  always  contented;  never  in  a  hurry,  but  always  looking  for 
a  minute  to  turn  into  profit.  His  room  was  a  happy  room;  his  ship  will 
be  a  happy  ship.

WILLIS  RAYMOND  DENEKAS 
Pekin,  Illinois 

"denny" 

DENNY,  who  came  to  us  via  the  Naval  Reserve,  is  the  kind  of  fellow 
who  has  to  be  watched  or  he'll  dust  more  than  his  half  of  the  room. 
A  conscientious  worker,  he  even  tried  to  find  out  second  class  year  what 
"Thermo"  was  all  about.  He  suffers  from  mild  insanity  on  the  subject  of 
fresh  air.  Boxes  of  all  sizes,  laundry  string,  and  wrapping  paper  are  among 
the  articles  which  must  be  scrupulously  saved  for  some  future  emergency. 
All  attempts  to  draw  him  into  argument  have  been  fruitless.  His  hope  to 
win  his  wings  has  replaced  his  hope  to  win  an  "N"  in  track.  Denny  is  one 
who  has  appreciation  for  the  finer  things,  and  is  a  true  Gentleman  of  the

RICHARD  GUNTER  CROMMELIN 

Montgomery,  Alabama 

"dick" 

KICHARD  was  the  fourth  brother  to  leave  the  piney  hills  on  the  banks 
_  of  the  Alabama  to  get  his  first  taste  of  salt  from  Maryland's  mighty 
Severn.  He  knew  rather  more  of  what  was  in  store  for  him  than  the  aver- 
age candidate,  but  will  still  maintain  in  his  stronger  moments  that  he 
took  the  right  road  back  there.  "Wiggy"  prides  himself  on  having  cos- 
mopolitan tendencies  and  with  justification.  Plugged  to  be  a  swimmer, 
succeeded  in  being  a  super-snake,  and  if  he  had  maintained  his  course  in 
civilian  life  would  probably  have  turned  out  to  be  a  first-class  lawyer. 
Ambitious,  friendly,  well  liked,  though  a  home-lover  by  instinct,  we 
predict  that,  in  spite  of  it,  he  will  go  far  in  this  man's  Navy.

NAPOLEON,  the  skipper  of  the  C.  S.  S.  Alabama,  and  Rafe — great 
little  men  every  one.  If  you  don't  believe  that  about  the  Alabama's 
captain,  ask  his  great-grandson,  and  if  you  have  your  doubts  about  the 
great-grandson,  ask  anyone  who  knows  him.  No  one,  not  even  a  Farragut, 
Jr.,  could  have  come  to  the  Academy  with  more  tradition  of  the  sea  be- 
hind him.  Rafe  is  neither  a  confirmed  snake  nor  an  ultra  savoir,  but  he  has 
had  his  big  moments  in  his  dealings  with  both  books  and  fair  ladies.  When 
he's  quiet,  he  is  unmistakably  so;  when  he's  loud — well,  they  never  made 
one  louder — temperamental  it  is  sometimes  called.  Good-natured,  gener- 
ous, true-blue — that's  the  lad.

LEO 


SCHWABE 


FROM  way  '  'Out  Where  the  Blue  Begins, ' '  yet  neither  wild  nor  wooly, 
came  Leo.  Soon  after  "dropping  the  hook"  here,  he  answered  the 
call,  "Play  Ball!,"  only  to  be  trapped  off  base.  Though  rather  disheart- 
ened, the  "Don't  Give  Up  the  Ship"  spirit  had  its  effect;  and  he  has  never 
relinquished  the  hope  of  someday  scoring  at  least  a  minor  upset.  "What 
are  you  famous  for,  mister?" — long  study  hours  of  boning  (Collier's, 
especially),  passing  judgment  on  the  next  lesson  with  "sheer  fruit."  The 
mission  of  the  Academy,  ' '  a  practical ,  rather  than  an  academic  mind, ' '  has 
not  been  unheeded.  To  see  the  roomful  of  completed  ideas,  or  to  hear  a  few 
of  the  plans  in  embryonic  state  would  bewilder  many.  And,  "lest  we  for- 
get,"— a  fine  shipmate,  in  every  sense.

"jim"  "ace" 

THIS  gleeful  punster  fiendishly  delights  in  inflicting  all  with  those 
horrible  atrocities;  a  pained  expression  only  brings  more  hearty 
laughter.  He  is  potentially  lazy,  actually  a  savoir.  His  "grease"  seems  to 
be  a  vanishing  cream.  Jim  is  a  conspicuous  member  of  our  local  "gab" 
sessions.  He  doesn't  remember  what  Farragut  said;  he  has  a  more  versatile 
"line."  There  is  only  one  big  moment  at  a  time,  but  lots  of  times.  Al- 
though Sig  tries  to  fit  the  system,  the  system  doesn't  always  fit  him.  He  is 
forever  chuckling  over  some  fanciful  idea  and  experimenting  with  a  few.  A 
grateful  target  for  many  highly  scented  letters,  how  he  does  answer  them! 
Though  not  a  musician,  rhythm  is  his  business.  With  his  restless  feet 
there's  no  moss  on  Ace.  He  can  be  sarcastic,  but  he  is  a  true  friend  and  a

self by  blowing  a  mean  harmonica.  Any  week  day  Joe  can  be  found

lucky  boys  between  the  unsats  and  the  star  men,  without  the  cares  of

FROM  the  land  of  silver  dollars  came  this  patriotic  Irishman,  via  a

tons and  blue  serge.  After  taking  two  reexams  to  convince  the  Steam  De- 
partment that  his  sketches  weren't  absolutely  unfathomable,  Pat  stayed 
on,  academically  unthreatened.  During  the  years,  idle  afternoons  were 
rare,  for  in  tennis,  soccer,  and  basketball,  he  displayed  his  athletic  abili- 
ties. Socially,  Pat  has  constantly  made  new  friends,  both  fair  and  male, 
until  their  number  and  variety  are  astonishing.  His  technique  with  the 
fair  has  never  failed,  but  no  one  girl  has  yet  been  able  to  blind  him  to  the 
charms  of  another.  Wherever  he  may  go,  we  know  Pat's  infectious  humor 
and  captivating  personality  will  continue  to  gain  him  friends,  happiness,

SIX  feet  tall  with  plenty  in  between  the  top  and  the  ground,  Dan  was

he  frequently  attends  the  hops  where,  as  elsewhere,  he  is  a  past  master  at

of  the  first  water,  he  was  never  too  deep  in  Cosmo  to  help  a  struggling

asked  about  women,  he'd  tell  you  '  'They  are  all  alike  but  one. ' '  Not  caring 
to  push  himself  ahead  at  another's  expense  Vern  has  always  valued  friend- 
ship more  than  personal  success.  By  whatever  standard  judged  he'll  go  a

has  brought  him  through  many  a  tough  spot.  His  one  failing  is  that  he

Brooks,  Oregon 


CLARK 


OUT  of  the  West  came  a  young  Lochinvar  ready  to  show  us  all  some 
of  the  secrets  of  enjoying  life.  Imbued  with  a  home  training  that 
will  never  be  forgotten  even  in  the  ol'  Nyvee,  he  has  always  found  an 
attraction  in  the  finer  things  of  life.  Clark  found  life  a  bit  different  here 
when  he  first  hit  these  Eastern  shores,  but  the  first  thing  he  did  was  to 
smile  and  calmly  survey  the  scene.  It  was  that  same  smile  and  esprit  that 
enabled  him  to  attack  with  success  the  heart  of  every  person  exposed  to 
his  cherubic  countenance  and  strong  personality.  Never  much  troubled 
with  academics,  Speedy  made  his  life  a  series  of  attempts  at  self-improve- 
ment. The  pool,  the  classics,  and  good  music  have  been  his  greatest  loves 
and  have  combined  to  make  this  boy  who  came,  saw,  and  conquered,  a 
cultured  man.

MANDY 


FROM  well-earned  prominence  in  his  large  high  school,  Herb  came  di- 
rectly to  the  humble  confusion  of  a  Plebe.  Regulations  and  routine 
he  earnestly  adopted,  even  to  the  point  of  turning  back  his  mattress  at 
home  on  his  first  leave.  Academics  weren't  so  readily  absorbed,  but  trials 
of  his  first  two  years  revealed  an  amazing  capacity  for  work.  Cheerfully,  if 
sheepishly,  Herb  admits  that  he  likes  all  the  girls,  but  he  denies  having 
made  any  choice.  In  music,  reading,  and  informal  athletics  his  tastes 
strike  an  enviable  combination.  We  don't  remember  how  many  times  he 
has  been  pinned  down  flat  in  tussles  with  a  man  twice  his  small  size.  How- 
ever, we  can't  forget  the  keynote  to  his  character  in  Herb's  invariable 
treatment  of  the  situation,  "Well,  ya  big  stiff,  have  ya  had  enough?"

WELL,  I  guess  I'll  sleep  for  a  while."  Now  you  know  Mac  who 
believes  thoroughly  in  this  ancient  and  ever  popular  pastime. 
However,  don't  think  him  lazy,  for  when  there  is  work  to  do,  he  does  it. 
Always  you  find  him  with  something  to  keep  him  occupied;  in  the  fall  it's 
soccer,  and  in  the  spring,  lacrosse.  Sometimes  he  is  engaged  in  model  ship 
building,  and  always  he  is  busy  fixing  the  radio.  Radio  is  his  hobby,  one 
at  which  he  has  great  skill.  He  is  a  "ham"  of  high  caliber  and  gave  up 
his  station  only  when  he  entered  the  Naval  Academy.  His  ambition  is  to 
set  up  his  own  station  out  in  China.  His  varied  activities  and  amiable  dis- 
position are  combined  into  a  swell  fellow  for  a  roommate.

"bob"  "stonewall" 

HAILING  from  the  salty  town  of  San  Pedro,  Bob  came  to  the  Academy 
with  a  vision  of  the  Fleet  he  would  some  day  enter.  Characterized 
during  Plebe  summer  as  one  who  enjoyed  life  with  a  boundless  enthusiasm 
for  anything  that  met  his  approval,  he  started  academic  year  well  equipped 
to  meet  any  offensive  that  the  fathers  of  science  had  to  offer,  though 
slightly  offside  in  the  realm  of  Bull  and  Dago.  In  spring,  pulling  an  oar  for 
Navy;  in  winter,  the  boxing  ring;  in  between  times,  building  and  sailing 
his  yawl  "Mistress."  His  genial  nature  and  ever  ready  comradeship  have 
made  him  an  enviable  roommate,  and  these  two  qualities  combined  with 
a  love  of  the  sea  make  it  a  unanimous  "shipmate"  from  all  hands.

"micky"  "bill" 

WE  have  never  quite  figured  out  why  Bill  deserted  Manhattan  for 
Crabtown;  perhaps  it  was  the  gold  buttons.  At  any  rate,  the  Irish- 
man lost  no  time  in  winning  the  way  to  the  hearts  of  his  classmates  with 
his  amiable,  easy-going  nature  and  ready  wit.  Plebe  year  Bill  took  time 
out  from  his  favorite  athletic  hobby,  the  440,  in  which  he  excels,  to  win 
laurels  at  soccer.  Though  not  one  to  study  out  of  hours  he  has  nevertheless 
chalked  off  the  terms  well  up  in  class  standing.  But  whether  it's  winning 
an  "N,"  which  he  did,  we  have  often  thought,  just  to  rate  the  "N" 
Dance,  or  playing  in  the  Saturday  night  bridge  foursome,  or  dragging  one 
of  his  O.  A.  O.  's,  Micky  will  be  remembered  as  one  of  those  fellows  hailed 
as  well  met,  possessed  of  the  faculty  of  entering  and  enjoying  whole- 
heartedly anything  to  which  he  turns.

"johnny"  "fritter" 

ALTHOUGH  a  young  cosmopolitan  from  the  city  of  diplomats, 
XA-  Johnny  is  not  to  be  mistaken  for  a  diplomat — he's  too  frank.  He  is 
studious,  but  by  no  stretch  of  the  imagination  can  you  call  John  a  grind 
(witness  those  2..5's).  Always  gay  except  when  serious  by  necessity,  al- 
ways amusing  whenever  the  occasion  demands,  and,  above  all  else,  sincere, 
he  enjoys  limitless  popularity  among  his  classmates.  (From  whom  haven't 
we  borrowed,  Johnny?)  He  considers  hops  a  necessity  in  his  life,  and  when 

a  hop  passes  without  the  appearance  of  our  happy-go-lucky,  J.  B. , 

and  a  certain  young  lady,  it  is  the  cause  of  surprise  to  one  and  all.  A  tre- 
mendous and  infectious  laugh  heard  on  the  greens,  on  a  soccer  field,  or  out 
on  the  bay  will  warn  you  of  Johnnie's  presence.  Can  we  ever  forget  John — 
a  swell  fellow  and  a  fine  friend?

always  in  trim  he  is  an  able  crew  man.  Paul  really  found  himself  Youngster 
year  and  emerged  with  stars  which  stamp  him  an  intellectual.  An  "N" 
bears  witness  to  the  might  of  his  arm  in  stroking  the  varsity  boat.  Still,  he 
finds  time  to  read  magazines  and  write  more  letters  than  his  friends  can 
supply  him  with  stamps  for.  It's  suspected  that  the  outburst  of  corres- 
pondence was  prompted  by  an  inspiration  whom  he  met  Youngster  year. 
Amidst  much  rejoicing  Paul  has  recently  abandoned  his  singing,  but  he 
retains  in  full  his  jovial  nature,  his  ready  wit,  and  his  broad,  good- 
natured  smile.  To  a  swell  fellow,  a  fast  friend,  good  luck.

and  he's  never  been  known  to  fail  to  get  one!  That  same  determination  is 
also  the  reason  for  Lub's  annual  victory  over  the  Steam  Department  and 
the  soubriquet  of  "Slaughter-house"  earned  during  his  first  year  of  varsity 
boxing.  A  smooth  talker,  he  has  spent  many  a  study  hour  amusing  and 
astounding  numbers  of  his  many  friends  with  his  oratory,  wit,  and  pro- 
found logic.  Of  an  easy-going  nature,  he  is  worried  by  few  things,  yet 
he  is  always  ready  to  aid  others  in  their  troubles.  Ed  will  make  a  fine 
officer,  and  his  sociable  nature  should  make  him  a  welcome  addition  to 
the  wardrooms  of  the  Fleet.

"gus"  "tran" 

A  FTER  swapping  his  college  slacks  for  trim  blue  service,  Gus  soon  de- 
xA_  cided  that  he  had  got  the  better  of  the  bargain  and  plunged  into  this 
mad  whirl  of  routines  and  activities  with  a  determination  to  find  out  what 
made  the  darn  things  spin  so  fast.  He  led  the  academic  lineup  a  merry 
chase  from  star  to  bilge  and  back  again,  for  his  brilliance  in  Dago  was 
more  than  counterbalanced  by  a  dullness  of  comprehension  in  Steam  which 
at  times  bordered  on  downright  ignorance.  A  delightful  indifference  and  a 
whimsical  nature  combine  to  make  Gus  a  thoroughly  likeable  chap  despite 
a  failing  for  perpetrating  devilish  machinations,  vociferating  poetical 
tirades,  exploding  tempestuously — and  using  big  words.  He  leaves  the 
academy  with  the  esteem  of  his  classmates  and  the  sincere  admiration  of 
his  roommate,  for  a  finer  lad  never  entered  the  academy — a  finer  man 
never  left  it.  •   •

YOU'LL  probably  hear  him  before  you  see  him.  In  either  case,  stand  by

Ambidextrous  and  versatile,  Vinnie  can  do  more  things  with  his  hands 
than  a  girl  with  a  hairpin.  He  has  a  splendid  memory  for  batting  averages 
but  for  formulas  and  French  verbs — no !  He  readily  recognizes  and  appre- 
ciates the  things  that  are  sterling.  His  hair-trigger  sense  of  humor  often  re-

Vinnie  enters  enthusiastically  into  sports,  society  and  nudist  colonies.  He 
is  one  of  the  few  who  can  say  and  do  what  they  please  and  still  retain  their 
friends.  His  genial  disregard  for  conventions  leads  to  his  doing  the  un-

THE  Plebe  Class  of  four  years  ago  found  among  its  number  one  who 
soon  evidenced  the  briny  influences  of  a  fine  Annapolis  home  and  a 
Navy  family.  While  his  classmates  struggled  through  the  inconsistencies 
of  a  strange  nautical  language,  Dick  armed  himself  with  a  lacrosse  stick, 
a  slide  rule,  and  a  tennis  racket.  With  these  weapons,  turreted  in  a  rugged 
body,  pointed  by  a  quick  mentality,  trained  by  a  winning  personality, 
primed  by  a  flashy  temper,  and  fired  by  a  spontaneous  energy,  he  soon 
effected  a  triumphant  entry  into  the  ranks  of  the  stars,  as  shown  by  the 
collar  of  his  uniform  and  the  "N"s  on  his  bathrobe.  As  added  spoils  he 
captured  the  hearts  of  his  shipmates,  who  proudly  present  to  the  Service 
one  of  its  most  promising  aspirants.

COMING  across  the  Atlantic  when  still  very  young  Scotty  received  his 
first  taste  of  ships  and  the  sea,  and  that  taste  soon  grew  to  such  pro- 
portions that  nothing  would  do  but  to  enter  the  Naval  Academy.  Effec- 
tively disproving  the  old  idea  about  a  Scotsman  and  his  alleged  attach- 
ment to  his  money  Scotty  has  proved  to  be  one  of  the  most  generous  and 
likable  fellows  at  the  Academy,  and  a  friend  upon  whom  you  can  count  in 
time  of  need.  His  attraction  for  the  fairer  sex  has  frequently  produced 
rather  unique  situations  but  Scotty  has  never  known  how  to  say  die.  A 
sportsman  for  the  sake  of  sport,  he  is  always  ready  for  a  friendly  contest  or 
a  serious  discussion.  Frae  yin  and  'a,  guid  luck,  laddie.

THERE'S  a  bevy  of  smiles,  and  a  spirit  of  '  'Hail  fellow"  prevails  when 
Woof  appears  on  the  scene.  His  presence  is  usually  announced  by  one 
of  those  shrill  outbursts  which  come  only  from  his  throat;  they  defy  des- 
cription. Our  Jawn  is  popular  and  amiable,  he  triumphs  in  all  his  social

spring  as  a  means  for  spending  long  lazy  moments  stretched  on  the  turf, 
but  his  unquestioned  prowess  on  the  field  warrants  this  indulgence.  With 
all  his  carefree  airs,  however,  Woof  has  the  real  stuff;  he  hangs  on  and

VALEDICTORIAN  of  his  class  in  high  school  and  captain  of  Cadets, 
Jim  entered  the  Academy  with  a  high  set  of  standards  to  which  he 
has  never  been  false.  His  wide  range  of  talents  and  his  infectious  enthus- 
iasm have  made  him  a  mainstay  of  the  NA-io  as  well  as  a  savoir  of  no  mean 
order.  In  athletics  his  success  has  been  only  moderate — a  shortcoming  ex- 
plained perhaps  by  his  frequent  attendance  at  hops.  However,  it  is  for  his 
ability  to  bring  a  smile  to  even  the  most  bewildered  face  at  the  end  of  a 
long  steam  drill  and  his  unfailing  willingness  to  let  others  benefit  from  his 
prowess  at  academics — especially  Dago — that  Jim  is  most  valued  as  a 
classmate  and  a  friend.  With  his  willingness  to  work,  his  much  appreciated 
ability  to  get  the  word,  and  his  warm  sense  of  humor,  Jim  is  certain  to 
meet  with  success  in  the  Fleet.

FROM  the  very  start  Dicky  has  shown  plenty  of  ability  in  academics, 
especially  as  a  Bull  savoir.  He  has  always  had  a  secret  ambition  to  be

SOME  day  I'm  going  to  get  a  dog,  take  my  pipe,  and  spend  the  rest  of 
my  life  tramping  in  Maine."  Thus  Elmer  expresses  his  ambition. 
Having  spent  almost  every  summer  on  Lake  Kezar,  Maine,  where  he 
keeps  a  small  fleet  of  outboard  motorboats,  he  naturally  has  a  love  for 
the  out-of-doors  and  an  intense  interest  in  boats.  Here  at  the  Academy 
he  has  held  down  a  key  position  on  the  soccer  team  all  three  years,  and 
every  season  he  has  been  out  for  some  sport.  Starring  has  been  the  least 
of  his  worries.  Of  course,  he  has  had  his  bouts  with  the  fairer  sex,  but 
so  far  has  never  been  seriously  smitten.  His  strong  personality  and  in- 
flexible determination  will  always  assure  him  of  success  in  any  under- 
taking.

THE  South  lost  a  real  Romeo  when  Van  came  up  North,  dragging  his 
long  name  behind  him.  Having  had  two  years  at  Mississippi  State, 
Van  found  it  not  hard  to  star  and  have  plenty  of  time  to  work  on  Log 
finances  and  write  letters  by  the  dozen.  Of  course  his  mail  reached  a  stag- 
gering total  each  day,  at  one  time  requiring  a  file  to  keep  the  fair  writers 
straight.  A  liking  for  Crew  and  the  extra  chow  to  be  had  at  the  training 
table  induced  him  to  concentrate  on  that  sport.  Van  possesses  the  rare  gift 
of  being  able  to  make  friends  with  everybody.  Always  cheerful,  he  is 
known  to  have  been  bothered  by  only  one  thing,  and  that  is  that  some  day 
he  might  talk  like  a  Yankee.

THIS  lad  with  the  long,  long  eyelashes  says  he  comes  from  Virginia, 
suh,  but  when  we  heard  he  was  a  Navy  Junior,  we  rather  questioned 
that.  However,  his  long  stay  in  Brazil  really  puts  him  from  south  of 
somewhere  at  least.  To  tell  the  truth,  though,  traveling  is  the  least  of 
his  accomplishments,  for  "Money"  is  quite  a  versatile  man,  be  it  solving 
crossword  puzzles,  sending  orchids  to  fair  maidens,  booting  a  soccer  ball 
around,  or  uncovering  the  hidden  meaning  behind  that  Bull  lesson.  Not 
only  does  Kel  play  soccer — he  knows  the  game;  just  ask  him  anything 
about  that  British  league.  Despite  the  smoking  of  a  mean  pipe,  he  has 
made  us  one  swell  roommate,  and  we  feel  free  to  recommend  him  to  all 
comers.

"mike"  "bill" 

OH,  isn't  he  grand?"  is  the  cry  that  goes  up  from  every  group  of 
femmes  as  Mike  swings  by.  And  their  smiles  are  never  fruitless.  An 
eye  for  "swell  babes"  and  the  art  of  making  them  like  him  are  two  of 
Mike's  proudest  possessions.  Studies  have  required  quite  an  effort,  but  un- 
tiring work  and  the  will  to  succeed  have  always  carried  him  through. 
Though  not  a  record-breaker,  he  is  interested  in  athletics  and  has  done  his 
part  in  the  high  jump.  An  excellent  musician,  Mike  has  passed  on  to  many 
of  his  friends  his  love  for  good  music.  The  lead  in  the  Masqueraders  proved 
his  ability  as  an  actor.  Smile  when  things  go  wrong,  joke  at  your  little 
troubles,  enjoy  life  always — there  you  have  Mike's  formula  for  happiness. 
He  proves  it  well.

"fred"  "gus" 

FROM  out  of  the  multitude  Freddy  came  forth  or  maybe  it  was  fifth — ■ 
anyway  it  was  an  eventful  day  in  Plebe  summer  when  his  irresistible 
and  mischievous  personality  introduced  him  as  the  ratiest,  saltiest,  and 
most  likable  Plebe  of  that  day's  pickings.  Since  then  he  hasn't  set  any 
worlds  afire  with  academic  achievements  but  he  had  developed  those 
officer-like  qualities  which,  combined  with  common  sense  and  ability  to 
become  serious  when  necessary,  have  won  him  the  admiration  and  respect 
of  his  associates.  We've  been  proud  of  Fred  as  a  shipmate  in  the  past,  we're 
proud  of  him  as  a  classmate  and  we  will  be  proud  to  have  him  as  a  mess- 
mate in  the  future.  May  we  present,  not  a  Paul  Jones  nor  a  Nelson,  but  just 
Fred  Greene,  our  buddy.

HENRY  SMITH  JACKSON 

Melrose,  Massachusetts 
"hank"  "jack" 

IN  the  summer  of  nineteen  thirty-four  the  Bay  State  presented  the  Navy 
with  this  hot-headed,  happy-go-lucky  fellow  who,  despite  the  changes 
that  the  Academy  tends  to  make  in  personal  characteristics,  has  retained 
his  Yankee  ideas,  traits,  and  accent.  His  advancement  to  date  has  been 
noteworthy  as  regards  studies,  a  fact  clearly  shown  by  his  class  standing. 
His  interest  in  sports  is  varied,  and  he  is  willing  to  back  the  athletic 
representatives  of  Boston  at  any  time  at  any  odds  with  either  might  or 
money.  No  doubt  Hank  will  proceed  a  long  way  in  the  naval  service  for 
he  realizes  what  the  Navy  needs,  what  makes  the  wheels  go  around,  and 
that  a  man  cannot  fly  on  one  wing.

Selma,  Alabama 
"ollie"  "agee" 

A  GEE  is  the  second  Melvin  to  enter  the  Naval  Academy  from  Alabama. 
JLX.  Northern  prep  schools  have  made  his  speech  cosmopolitan,  although 
he  does  relapse  into  that  southern  drawl  at  times.  He  is  a  terror  among 
Plebes,  yet  their  friend.  Being  a  firm  believer  in  his  own  convictions,  Agee 
can  argue  well,  changing  his  mind  only  when  he  is  thoroughly  convinced. 
He  has  worn  stars  on  his  full  dress  collar  and  has  yet  to  experience  the 
tribulations  of  the  "unsats."  Perhaps  most  of  his  success  is  due  to  his 
power  of  concentration.  His  agreeable  nature  and  willingness  to  reason 
make  him  a  fine  roommate  and  companion.  This  southern  gentleman's 
weaknesses  are  hops,  pretty  girls,  and  good  books.  Well  known  he  is  for: 
"Now,  I  really  should  be  studying."

partment clearly  showed  this  meaning — Harry  stayed  in  there  fighting. 
Maybe  being  a  Navy  Junior  instilled  in  him  his  love  of  the  Service,  but 
whatever  it  was,  the  old  spirit  is  still  there.  Harry  gladly  stops  taking 
pictures  long  enough  to  tell  one  and  all  what  a  great  life  this  Navy  is. 
Although  addicted  to  writing  letters  to  men  of  note,  he  can  always  get 
answers  to  his  4.0  line  of  Bull.  Snakes  often  gave  thanks  that  Harry's  in- 
terests always  remained  on  the  West  Coast.  His  common  sense  and  level-

WHANG 


ONCE  described  as  the  stronghold  of  mediocrity,  the  Academy  has  for 
four  years  sheltered  an  academic  genius  in  Ozzie.  With  the  serenity 
inspired  by  the  wisdom  of  the  ages,  Howard  has  ranked  high  while  delving 
into  Math  far  beyond  his  poor  roommate's  comprehension  or  while  in- 
specting the  plots  of  Cosmo.  Although  a  "College  Joe"  by  virtue  of  tours 
of  study  at  Albright  and  Pennsylvania,  he  is  a  true  Red  Mike.  His  weaker 
moments  are  spent  in  the  pursuit  and  collection  of  stamps,  skulking  be- 
hind scenes  with  the  Stage  Gang,  or  "master-minding"  the  Class  pho- 
tography. His  other  relaxations  are  smoking  vile  pipes  and  helping  class- 
mates breast  the  academic  tides.  Pennsylvania  lost  a  stalwart  son  when 
Ozzie  answered  the  sea's  siren,  and  his  partner  will  lose  the  best  of  room- 
mates at  graduation.

FRED  bounced,  from  the  impetus  of  two  years  on  the  seas,  into  the  arms 
of  the  Academic  Department.  Bouncing  back,  his  first  skirmishes  con- 
vinced both  the  department  and  him  that  here  was  no  mean  adversary. 
Similar  skirmishes  with  the  executive  and  commissary  departments  have 
wrought  the  same  conclusions.  With  much  pitching  and  yawing,  rolling 
through  these  four  years  has  convinced  us  all  that  here  is  a  real  companion. 
Carvel  Hall,  Nav.  P-works,  Saturday  night  hops,  chalk-fights,  tea-fights, 
Wednesday  P-rades,  rifle  range,  and  Henleys  have  all  known  their  Fred;  a 
new  chain  of  episodes  is  shortly  to  know  him  too.  Without  asking  him 
"Quo  vadis?"  for  we  all  know  that  wherever  he  goes  the  gods  are  with 
him,  we  wish  him  smooth  sailing  and  Godspeed.  But  that's  neither  here 
nor  there;  it's  simply  that  he's  all  there,  this  Freddy  Haddock.

"dave" 

DURING  the  first  years  of  his  life,  Dave  was  attracted  to  the  sea  and 
has  since  remained  loyal  to  it.  With  his  sailboats  he  explored  every 
inlet  of  Long  Island  Sound  regardless  of  weather.  Sailing  season  ended  for 
him  only  when  ice  and  sleet  fouled  the  rigging.  Acting  in  harmony  with 
his  calling,  Dave  entered  the  Academy.  Here  he  renewed  the  lifelong  feud 
of  Harris  vs.  Dago.  After  three  years  Dave  won  by  a  decision.  Mathemati- 
cal subjects  were  "fruit,"  allowing  him  time  to  bone  "Yachting,"  busi- 
ness books,  and  yacht-designing.  Typically  one  "of  the  boys,"  Dave  was 
never  fond  of  the  regulation  book.  His  good  nature,  common  sense,  and 
understanding  make  him  a  4.0  roommate  and  companion.  Being  a  man 
and  a  gentleman,  Dave,  you  will  be  successful  whatever  your  course.  May 
all  your  sunsets  be  red.

WHEN  Muskogee  sent  her  favorite  son  to  the  Naval  Academy,  Okla-

and  the  cares  roll  away.  Well  liked  by  his  classmates,  Tom  has  proven  him-

SPARKY 


PROUD  of  his  English  ancestry,  firm  in  his  beliefs,  Gordy  is  always 
ready  for  an  argument.  A  lexicographer  of  the  first  water,  he  fre-

He  is  a  great  lover  of  books,  of  opera,  of  symphony  concerts,  and  of  dress 
affairs  and  is  possessed  of  a  secret  desire  to  write.  Incidentally,  Gordon  is 
always  present  when  chow  is  on  hand,  though  always  worrying  how  to 
carry  those  extra  few  pounds.  He  takes  more  time  in  the  morning  than  any 
other  man  in  the  Regiment  to  finish  his  toilette,  and  then  he  can  never 
understand  why  his  roommate  is  late  for  formation.  Quiet,  reserved, 
steady,  and  consistent,  Gordy  has  made  an  ideal  companion  and  buddy.  He

Bayard,  Nebraska 
"jimmie"  "gimie" 

THE  state  of  Nebraska  gave  Jimmie  his  start,  New  York  polished  him, 
and  Plebe  Dago  nearly  finished  him.  Bells  have  been  his  chief  com- 
plaint during  the  last  four  years.  They  were  always  interrupting  him.  Pos- 
sessed of  an  unusual  ability  to  concentrate  on  his  work,  Jimmie  always 
heard  formations  and  releases  with  disgusted  surprise;  the  most  unwelcome 
and  most  persistent  of  all  bells,  reveille,  never  came  at  an  opportune  mo- 
ment, for  Jimmie  sleeps  as  well  as  he  works.  Is  he  a  snake  or  a  Red  Mike? 
All  we  can  say  to  this  is  that  we  don't  advise  you  to  introduce  your  drag  to 
him,  for  what  a  smile  Jimmie  has.  So,  all  in  all,  Jim  has  what  it  takes  to 
get  along  in  this  world,  and  we  are  agreed  that  he  will  climb  well  above 
the  middle  rung.

captured  popularity  among  his  classmates  and  the  fairer  sex.  His  daily 
quota  of  mail  has  long  aroused  our  envy,  and  although  he  refuses  to  reveal 
his  secret,  we  suspect  that  quiet,  retiring  manner  coupled  with  a  somewhat 
super  line.  Blessed  with  the  inherent  qualities  of  fairness,  generosity,  and 
leadership,  he's  been  a  perfect  roommate  and  is  able  to  "carry  on"  with

can  someday  be  shipmates.

GOOD-NATURED,  easy-going  son  of  a  Naval  Officer,  he's  a  man 
with  a  fighting  heart.  Important  among  the  things  to  be  told  about 
him  is  that  he's  had  a  great  number  of  major  battles  with  fate  against  him, 
battles  about  which  few  have  ever  known.  Uncomplaining  he  is,  and  no 
opponent  ever  looks  too  big  for  him:  none  has  ever  proved  to  be  so  and  we 
doubt  that  any  ever  will.  With  his  fighting  heart,  generosity,  and  com- 
placent personality,  we  know  he'll  always  get  along.  He's  liked,  and  very 
well  liked,  just  because  of  himself.  Good-natured?  Easy-going?  Compla- 
cent? Beyond  all  average  limits.  One  is  unable  to  remain  long  angered  with 
him,  even  when  the  cause  of  that  anger  is  his  characteristic  stubbornness.

HIGH  School  and  three  years  of  work  gave  Nellie  the  urge  for  higher 
education,  thus  plunging  a  representative  of  Swede  hill  into  a  life 
that  at  first  puzzled  him.  Months  that  followed  showed  his  ability  and  he 
proceeded  to  prove  that  Academic  Departments  can  be  shown.  Kicking  a 
ball  around  on  the  soccer  field  is  his  pet  sport  and  second  class  year  he 
climbed  from  the  ranks  to  a  berth  on  the  varsity.  His  kicking,  however, 
ends  with  soccer  and  he  carries  none  of  it  into  his  relations  with  his 
fellows.  Radio  programs  during  work  hours  don't  go  but  after  taps  he  can 
secure  a  radio  much  faster  than  a  D.  O.  can  open  a  door.  Plenty  of  ambition 
and  ability  will  help  him  to  do  as  well  in  the  Fleet  as  he  has  done  in  the 
Academy.

BILL  BOYKIN  graduated  from  High  School,  rested  over  the  week-end, 
and  then  plunged  into  the  conglomeration  that  is  Plebe  summer. 
Immediately  he  became  interested  in  swimming  and  pursued  this  sport 
with  such  vigor  that  Youngster  year  found  him  one  of  the  outstanding 
men  on  the  squad.  Paralleling  this  rapid  rise  in  athletic  ability,  Bill 
bounded  up  the  academic  ladder  until  he  now  stands  near  the  top  of  the 
class.  Always  willing  to  put  aside  any  lesson  to  listen  to  a  snappy  radio 
program,  Bill  enjoys  anything  that  has  to  do  with  music,  especially 
dancing.  While  he  emphatically  denies  that  he  is  a  snake,  he  will,  never-

a  little  susceptible  to  love,  Bill  has  only  one  weakness — the  Erie  Railroad.

that  bring  quick  surrender,  or  would  you  prefer  to  design  rustic  lodges 
fragrant  with  pines  on  rockbound  shores?  Whichever — meet  George,  af- 
fable, voluble,  sometimes  gullible.  George  lives  in  a  world  of  persistent 
bliss  that  haunts  everyone  and  everything  he  contacts.  His  jovial  manner 
shares  a  Mack  Truck  body,  plus  a  twelve  cylinder  mind,  with  an  evident 
determination  that  attains  an  end,  doubletime!  He  studies  perceptibly; 
after  the  last  bell,  industriously.  And  since  the  demise  of  Carvel  he  se- 
cretly darns  toe-less  socks  Sunday  afternoons.  Gyro-like,  Bull  maintains 
an  enviable  pace  while  possessing  an  inherent  stability  that  is  a  match  for 
any  swaying  bridge.

PAUL 


IT  was  a  memorable  day  for  thirty-eight  and  for  the  world's  femininity 
when  Paul  decided  to  grace  the  corridors  of  old  Bancroft.  Endowed 
with  an  unusual  talent  for  making  friends  and  a  suave  charm  belying  the 
fact  that  he  hails  from  the  green  hills  of  Vermont,  this  Yankee  has  secured 
himself  a  large  helping  of  popularity.  Though  for  him  the  reveille  bell 
does  not  always  accomplish  its  purpose  and  though  he  answers  only  half- 
heartedly to  the  name  '  'Ebby, ' '  whether  the  going  is  tough  or  the  occasion 
light,  Paul  is  adept  at  making  the  most  of  it.  Take  a  natural  savoir,  a 
better  than  average  musician,  a  varsity  "fifty"  crew  man,  inject  them  into 
the  frame  of  a  cosmopolite,  and  the  result  is  Paul,  a  grand  roommate 
and  friend.

FROM  schools  as  varied  as  his  abilities,  with  a  past  as  colorful  as  his 
personality,  promising  a  future  as  bright  as  his  disposition,  this  Irish 
son  of  Gotham  came  to  Thirty-Eight,  bringing  with  him  a  capacity  for 
garnering  an  ample  supply  of  food,  friends,  and  fame.  Not  a  star  man,  for 
he  declined  to  confine  his  efforts  solely  to  academics,  Bill  has  shown  ability 
and  versatility  in  the  sporting  world,  in  musical  and  literary  fields,  and  in 
the  social  graces.  With  an  uncanny  perception,  this  connoisseur  of  things 
fine  picks  the  winners,  whether  the  competitors  be  men,  women,  or 
horses.  When  the  big  race  is  over,  there  will  be  many  of  us  who,  without 
need  of  that  same  discrimination,  will  have  picked  Bill  to  finish  far  ahead 
of  those  who  also  ran.

HERMAN  KENNEDY  ROCK 

Lake  Charles,  Louisiana 
"ken"  "krock" 

FROM  Louisiana's  swamps  and  bayous  came  this  son  of  the  South  to 
the  frigid  shores  of  the  Severn  to  find  for  himself  a  place  in  the  Navy. 
Although  shoes  and  caps  were  uncomfortable  at  first  he  soon  became  ac- 
climated, getting  into  cuffs,  garters,  and  collars  with  nonchalant  rapidity. 
His  craving  for  excitement  was  partially  satisfied  by  football  and  water 
polo.  But  these  did  not  keep  him  from  more  than  holding  his  own,  aca- 
demically and  socially.  His  unfailing  good  humor  has  won  him  many 
friends.  Possessing  all  those  sterling  qualities  of  which  a  southern  gentle- 
man is  justly  proud,  Ken  has  shown  us  what  is  meant  by  true  sportsman- 
ship and  real  friendship.  He  is  as  solid  as  his  name  implies.  Success  should 
be  his  in  the  Fleet.  Go  to  it,  Ken.

WE  heard  lots  about  the  home  town  from  Don,  chiefly  that  it's  in 
New  York,  and  gets  even  colder  than  Annapolis.  His  interests 
were  many,  the  favorites  being  horseback  riding,  hunting,  sailing,  and 
hiking.  The  first  two  were  necessarily  confined  mainly  to  Sep  Leave,  but  he 
could  still  enjoy  the  others  in  pleasant  afternoons  spent  on  the  Severn  or 
near-by.  Having  prepped  in  Crabtown,  Don  gained  many  friends  outside 
as  well  as  inside  the  walls.  To  all  who  know  him,  his  warm  and  generous 
nature  give  assurance  that  he  is  a  real  and  dependable  friend.  "Always 
ready  for  a  frolic  or  a  fray,"  Don  has  the  ability  to  enjoy  life  anywhere, 
and  to  succeed  in  his  undertakings.  We  are  sure  this  quality  will  serve  him 
well  in  the  future.

WILLIE 


WILLIE  has  shelved  the  landlubber  traditions  of  his  native  Alabama 
without  ceasing  to  be  a  true  son  of  the  South  with  inborn  love  of 
good  sport,  good  books,  good  music,  and  independent  thinking.  He  proved 
he  has  what  it  takes  in  a  salty  way  as  skipper  of  the  good  ketch  "Turtle" 
second  class  summer.  Blessed  with  equal  ability  in  all  subjects,  he  has 
always  been  on  good  terms  with  academics,  stars  coming  and  going  at  will. 
Workouts  in  the  wrestling  loft,  sailing  cruises  on  the  Chesapeake,  attend- 
ance at  all  the  hops  as  a  number  one  snake  with  some  of  the  loveliest — to 
all  these  activities  Willie  has  brought  a  ready  wit  and  sunny  smile.  His 
worst  failing — an  addiction  to  warbling,  anywhere,  anytime.  Friendly, 
optimistic,  and  perservering,  Willie  should  get  there.  Happy  landings.

THOMAS  KENNEDY  RICHARDS 

Oil  City,  Pennsylvania 
"teke"  "schnoz" 

TEKE  came  riding  out  of  the  wilds  of  his  native  Pennsylvania  shooting 
the  proverbial  volleys  of  vim,  vigor,  and  vitality.  According  to  Teke, 
women  may  be  a  snare  and  a  delusion,  but  a  man  is  only  young  once.  He  is  a 
rabid  devotee  of  the  Bull  session  and  lacks  only  the  soap  box.  His  pet  en- 
thusiasm, besides  blondes,  is  aviation;  the  "Terrible  Turk"  claims  he  in- 
tends to  have  wings  like  the  boids,  but  without  the  harp  right  now,  please. 
The  only  worry  this  sandblower  has  is  concerned  with  how  long  his  hair 
will  last;  at  present  the  demand  exceeds  the  supply.  Affable  and  good- 
natured  except  when  interrupted  during  a  bunk  drill,  he  believes  life  isn't 
so  hard  to  take.  Best  of  luck,  fellow;  here's  to  it  and  to  you.

"hank"  "henri" 

HAVING  a  hankering  for  the  salty  brine,  Hank  quit  his  dreams  of 
square  riggers  for  real  steel  ships  and,  perhaps,  aviator's  wings.  An 
integral  part  of  every  hop,  a  good  bridge  player,  and  a  varsity  fencer,  he 
has  shown  a  diffidence  toward  academics  except  when  they  bordered  upon 
one  of  his  various  interests.  Hank  has  won  a  host  of  friends  with  his  keen 
sense  of  humor,  his  bull  session  ability,  and  his  knowledge  of  current  hap- 
penings, especially  in  his  native  town,  the  Capitol  City.  One  of  the  fortu- 
nate few  who  are  entirely  at  ease  on  a  heaving  slippery  deck,  he  has  found 
our  summer  sojourns  much  more  pleasant  than  the  incessant  perusal  of 
studies.  With  all  this  natural  genuineness,  Hank  will  certainly  become  a 
fine  officer  and  a  hearty  shipmate.

FROM  the  "land  of  ten  thousand  lakes"  comes  this  son  of  the  North. 
After  four  years  of  study,  he  has  learned  to  navigate  his  home  waters. 
Intensely  proud  of  his  native  state,  he  continually  raves  about  the  fine 
football  teams  it  produces.  Frank  is  like  those  teams,  a  real  winner.  Not 
especially  studious,  he  has  spells  when  his  educational  yearnings  are  not 
to  be  stifled,  and  then  woe  betide  the  unfortunates  who  arouse  his  Teutonic 
ire.  Except  for  a  minor  setback  during  Plebe  year,  he  has  been  uniformly 
successful.  He  is  good  at  nearly  all  athletics,  but  golf  is  his  first  love.  Dur- 
ing Youngster  year  he  was  converted  to  snakedom  from  the  ranks  of  the 
Red  Mikes.  His  good  sportsmanship  and  an  unfailing  sense  of  humor  make

RILEY,  the  man  with  the  distinctive  hair!  Outstanding  is  his  charac- 
^  teristic,  likable,  enthusiastic,  but  changeable  nature.  Every  week  he 
is  up  in  the  air  about  a  new  idea — inventing  batteries,  devising  wakeless 
torpedoes,  finding  gold  mines  in  Alaska — just  ask  him  anything.  Except 
for  a  few  incidental  brushes  with  Nav,  academics  worry  him  little.  He 
denies  that  women  are  his  main  interest  in  life,  but  a  new  girl  at  every 
turn  belies  that.  Having  tried  various  activities,  he  has  committed  himself 
only  to  crew  and  sailing,  both  of  which  prove  his  love  for  the  "aqua 
brina"  and  the  Navy.  Well,  Frank,  here's  the  end  of  four  good  years,  and 
you  made  it  in  spite  of  the  radio,  "Canopus,"  and  other  rocks  and  shoals. 
May  you  always  sail  with  a  fair  wind  on  the  quarter  and  the  lee  rail  under.

ANDREW  WALTER  PROUT 
Columbus,  Ohio 


A  NDY  has  had  few  worries  over  Academics  since  arriving  at  the  Naval 
JLX.  Academy  from  his  home  in  Columbus,  Ohio.  Among  his  chief  in- 
terests have  been  the  Boat  Club,  boats,  and  sail  boat  racing.  But  all  this 
proves  his  love  of  the  sea  and  of  sailing.  After  failing  in  an  attempt  to  in- 
terest his  roommate  in  a  cruise  to  the  South  Seas,  he  abandoned  that  idea 
for  one  of  complete  bliss  in  the  homeland.  His  love  of  the  water  is  only 
exceeded  by  his  faithfulness  to  the  O.  A.  O.  to  whom  he  writes  a  letter 
every  night.  If  he  stays  as  faithful  to  the  Navy  as  to  her  he'll  have  four 
stars  flying  from  the  mainmast  some  day.  Andy  has  done  some  fine  navi- 
gating these  four  years  come  June.  More  power  to  you,  Andy.

probably  the  only  Midshipman  that  has  walked  to  all  formations.  A  lazy

reserve  of  good  nature  that  makes  friends  of  all  who  know  him  and  keeps

"puddle"  "ducky" 

MOST  of  the  regiment  marches  in  front  of  Charlie,  but  he  is  one  of  the 
biggest  little  men  in  the  fourth  platoon.  Two  years  in  the  service 
before  coming  to  the  Academy  taught  him  how  to  take  it,  and  he  has  been 
taking  it  from  the  Dago  and  Steam  Departments  ever  since.  The  ability  to 
produce  in  a  pinch,  however,  has  kept  him  among  us.  Charlie's  personality 
and  popularity  have  probably  earned  him  more  nicknames  than  any  other 
man  in  the  class.  He  is  not  a  woman  hater,  but  seldom  drags,  apparently 
preferring  the  stag  line.  Extensive  travel  has  failed  to  disturb  Charlie's 
firm  belief  that  his  native  state  of  Virginia  is  God's  own  country.  At  home 
or  abroad,  Charlie,  we  wish  you  the  good  luck  you  deserve.

"minnie"  "al" 

COMING  straight  from  sun-kissed  California  without  the  assistance 
of  a  prep  school,  Minnie  has  always  demonstrated  the  ability  of  being 
able  to  solve  his  problems  by  depending  upon  himself.  Blessed  with  an 
extra  share  of  muscle,  he  has  done  his  part  for  the  honor  of  Navy  in 
athletics,  working  day  after  day  on  the  football  squad  in  the  fall,  throwing 
the  heaviest  wrestlers  around  the  ring  in  the  winter,  and  wielding  a  la- 
crosse stick  in  the  spring.  French  being  his  native  tongue,  he  couldn't  un- 
derstand the  difficulty  the  rest  of  us  had  with  Dago;  small  wonder  he  was 
popular  with  those  who  didn't  come  by  it  so  naturally.  Friendly,  un- 
selfish, working  hard  but  unobtrusively,  Minnie  is  a  shipmate  who  can  be 
depended  upon  to  pull  his  full  share  of  the  load.  He  is  an  ideal  roommate

IF  you  can't  see  him,  you'll  locate  him  by  his  penetrating  Texas  drawl. 
He's  the  "Old  Cowhand"  personified  with  a  million  range  songs  to 
substantiate  the  role.  He'll  try  anything;  wrestling,  boxing,  lacrosse,  or 
football.  The  fourth  battalion  by  his  presense  has  the  honor  of  having 
the  tiniest,  scrappiest,  and  liveliest  guard  of  the  Navy  on  its  team.  Mac 
doesn't  know  about  the  famed  Rose  Bowl  colleges  from  Texas,  but  ask 
him  about  C.  I.  A.  for  women !  He  always  attends  a  social  church  meeting 
on  Sunday  afternoons  and  returns  with  a  date  for  next  Saturday's  hop, 
never  missing  one.  Study  hour  brings  a  queue  asking  for  information 
which  he  blandly  hands  out  to  us  wooden-heads.  The  perpetual  grin  he 
sports  certainly  is  a  relief  after  viewing  the  impassive  physiognomies  at

WHAT  makes  a  man  give  up  his  shoot'n  arn  an'  cawn-likker  for  the 
rigors  of  the  life  of  a  sailor-man?  What  possessed  Arkansas's  fav- 
orite son  to  become  "a  fine  specimen  of  young  American  manhood"  will 
probably  never  be  revealed.  However,  when  Ben  put  on  his  first  pair  of 
shoes  and  looked  out  from  under  that  many-sizes-too-large  hat,  he  must 
have  been  inspired  to  greater  things  than  'chuck  hunting.  Though  he  has 
been  known  to  assume  either  side  of  an  argument  without  apparent  rhyme 
or  reason,  his  ideas  on  the  service  have  been  as  definite  and  as  firm  as  his 
desire  to  join  the  Fleet.  Bulldog  tenacity  to  an  ambition  will  delineate 
Buckshot's  character.  To  Ben,  upon  whom  I  can  depend  for  anything  from 
stamps  to  a  pair  of  shoes,  happy  landfalls.

BEING  a  Navy  Junior  and  having  spent  seven  years  at  military  schools, 
George  descended  upon  us  in  the  summer  of  '34  knowing  something 
of  what  it  was  all  about.  Placing  athletics  near  the  top  of  the  list,  he  gave 
his  best  to  football  until  he  decided  that  track  was  his  one  true  love. 
"Where's  George?"  "Out  working  on  the  hurdles."  And  that  holds  true 
even  in  the  midst  of  winter.  He  has  not  broken  any  records  yet  but  is  still 
dreaming  of  it.  He  has  an  utter  contempt  for  pipe  smoking,  drags  occa- 
sionally, stays  off  the  trees,  and  never  knows  the  time  of  the  next  forma- 
tion. A  man  with  a  lot  of  perseverance,  a  fine  sense  of  humor,  and  an 
optimistic  personality.  In  short,  he  will  always  come  out  ahead.  Good 
luck,  Slewfoot!

I  KNOW  that  some  day  some  person  far  abler  than  I  will  write  a  real 
biography  about  Bob.  He  came  to  us  from  the  great  state  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, in  order  to  find  what  makes  the  wheels  go  around,  and  a  mighty 
fine  job  he  has  made  of  it.  Academics  are  the  least  in  his  thoughts.  By  his 
very  frequent  dragging  and  attendance  at  the  various  social  events  he  has 
caused  many  a  feminine  heart  to  flutter.  But  outside  of  the  social  whirl 
Bob  is  one  of  the  mainstays  of  the  fencing  team.  Possessing  a  voice  of  no 
mean  quality,  he  has  been  a  member  of  the  choir  for  four  years.  His  ability 
to  work,  combined  with  his  rare  love  of  play,  will  carry  Bob  a  long  way 
in  the  Service.

BUD  is  just  a  little  fellow,  but  he  wants  awfully  to  be  anything  but  a 
sandblower — even  the  rear  guide  of  the  dirt  diggers.  Perhaps  he  is 
somewhat  too  full  of  civic  pride,  for  he  is  inordinately  proud  of  anything 
associated  with  Evanston.  "Steam"  seems  to  blow  right  by  Bud's  brain 
like  a  hurricane,  leaving  all  behind  desolate,  except  for  the  trees,  which 
will  always  remain,  sturdy  things  that  they  are.  Rarely  has  he  left  early 
any  examination,  for  he  proceeds  slowly,  regarding  suspiciously  each 
ambiguous  phrase.  Somewhere  within  Bud  is  an  interest  in  public  speaking 
which  best  shows  itself  in  fluent  conversation  accompanied  by  a  pleasant 
smile  that  has  won  him  many  friends.  Bud  has  been  a  splendid  roommate, 
and,  in  spite  of  the  twenty-six  letters  of  his  name,  his  admirable  person- 
ality will  enable  him  to  get  along  well  wherever  he  goes.

Hoosier  State  and  that  Notre  Dame  invariably  plays  the  hardest  foot- 
ball schedule  in  the  country.  This  might  be  overlooked,  but  for  his  in- 
sistence. Hence  it  must  be  ignored  and  only  brought  to  light  during  re- 
verses. His  comebacks  are  usually  terrific  puns  which  never  fail  to  floor 
opponents,  either  by  their  wit  or  obvious  lack  thereof.  So  far  the  second  is 
the  eternal  case,  but  you  have  to  give  him  credit  for  trying.  Other  vices 
include  an  ungovernable  passion  for  platinum  blondes,  though  he  works 
ust  as  well  with  brunettes,  and  a  singing  technique  all  his  own.  Still  it  all 
adds  up  to  a  pretty  swell  guy  who  will  get  somewhere.

BLESSED  with  a  rare  terpsichorean  skill  and  a  mellow  voice,  Roy  has 
long  been  the  answer  to  a  maiden's  prayer.  But  answering  prayers  has 
sometimes  proved  dull.  Then  he  has  sought  diversion  elsewhere.  Choosing 
his  athletics  mainly  for  genuine  enjoyment,  Roy  has  been  a  steady  cus- 
tomer of  the  tennis  court  and  the  big  pool.  Never  too  busy  for  a  bull  session 
or  a  bridge  game,  he  has  turned  in  some  remarkable  performances.  Good 
music,  a  good  book,  a  good  snooze — he  enjoys  nothing  better.  A  delight- 
ful whimsicality  and  an  uncanny  intuition  for  the  unusual  have  added 
flavor  to  even  his  commonplace  doings.  Generous  and  dependable,  Roy 
has  never  forgotten  the  Golden  Rule.  To  meet  again  some  day  somewhere

EVER  since  in  his  early  school  days  Bob  drew  from  the  vivid  incidents 
of  the  Battle  of  Jutland  material  for  a  Bull  theme,  he  has  been  head- 
ing for  the  Navy.  In  June  of  1934  he  made  good  the  first  step  in  that  direc- 
tion and  became  a  part  of  the  amateurs  to  be  molded  into  the  finished  naval 
officer.  During  the  four  years  with  us  Bob  has  shown  a  willing  spirit  and  a 
stubborn  determination  to  succeed  whether  battling  in  the  ring  along  with 
the  rest  of  Spike's  boys  or  with  the  Academic  Departments.  We  who  have 
known  Bob  well  can  tell  you  that  he  has  a  brand  of  Irish  humor  and  a  gen- 
erous disposition  that  make  him  the  best  sort  of  a  friend,  and  they  will 
carry  him  far.  Good  luck  in  the  Fleet,  Bob.

"  ERNIE  " 

SIX  years  ago  Ernie  said:  "Mom,  I  think  I'll  be  a  sailor."  Appointments 
happened  to  be  scarce  just  then  out  thar  in  Michigan,  so  he  enlisted 
with  the  Academy  as  his  goal.  After  serving  aboard  the  U.S.S.  Tennessee, 
he  crashed  the  Fleet's  picked  "prep"  class  and  directly  joined  '38.  OF 
Dewey,  as  the  folks  at  home  call  him,  was  plenty  salty  when  we  got  him 
and  he's  kept  right  on  getting  more  so.  Now  and  then  his  views  have  not 
coincided  with  those  of  the  Academic  Departments,  but  he's  always  beaten 
them  to  the  punch.  Through  four  years  we've  found  Ernie  like  his  name, 
earnest  and  sincere,  and  moreover  a  true  friend.  He  doesn't  wear  any  stars, 
but  they  will  get  a  mighty  fine  man  and  a  good  officer  when  he  goes  back 
to  the  Fleet.

IN  a  bull  session  Tommy's  favorite  topic  is  travel,  and  why  shouldn't  it 
be?  From  Shanghai  to  Paris  there  are  few  places  that  he  hasn't  been. 
This  life  of  travelling  has  instilled  in  Tommy  a  deep  love  for  the  tropics 
and  made  him,  too,  a  Dago  savoir  of  the  first  order.  His  cheerful  smile, 
happy-go-lucky  attitude,  and  high  sense  of  personal  honor  have  won  him 
countless  friends  here  at  the  Naval  Academy.  Although  Tommy  isn't  a 
renowned  athlete,  he  plays  an  excellent  game  of  tennis.  He  claims  that 
women  do  not  appeal  to  him,  but  the  Post  Office  receives  much  of  its 
revenue  from  him  just  the  same.  Pet  aversions  are  mechanical  drawing, 
cold  days,  and  crooners.  To  Tommy — a  real  friend  and  a  true  gentleman.

COMING  from  the  Tar  Heel  State,  Alto  has  completely  lived  up  to  all 
our  expectations  of  a  North  Carolina  gentleman.  Unfailing  good  na- 
ture coupled  with  a  quiet,  unassuming  manner  is  among  the  greatest  as- 
sets anyone  can  possess.  Abie  has  them  both  and  so  has  won  and  deserved 
his  host  of  friends  at  the  Academy.  Like  most  of  the  rest  of  us,  Alto  found 
that  there  are  many  things  easier  than  academics.  But  his  determination 
and  perseverance  have  made  it  easy  to  see  why  the  Civil  War  lasted  four 
years,  too.  Though  he  doesn't  claim  to  be  a  snake,  still  he  is  not  often 
found  in  the  stag  line.  He  appreciates  a  joke,  even  when  it's  on  himself. 
Ask  him  about  that  South  Carolina  icebox  sometime.  All  in  all,  he  is  cer- 
tainly a  roommate  we'd  choose  if  we  had  four  more  years  to  go.

has  been  active  in  football,  lacrosse,  swimming,  and  boxing.  His  position 
in  the  Boat  Club  speaks  for  his  interest  in  sailing.  He  claims  to  be  a  Red 
Mike  but  seldom  misses  a  chance  to  drag.  We  envy  him  in  his  ability  to 
make  and  retain  friends.  Perhaps  his  consideration  for  others  and  his  op- 
timism are  part  of  his  secret.  Many  fellows  are  thankful  that  Cookie  is 
savvy  and  is  willing  to  lend  a  hand  to  us  who  have  been  unsat.  An  ideal

these  cold  gray  walls  have  failed  to  dim.  Although  not  outstanding  in

mean  fiddle  in  the  orchestra,  or  in  the  heat  of  class  elections  campaigning 
for  his  friends.  But  not  even  these  keep  Mar  from  one  of  his  favorite  pas-

excels  in  the  academics  from  Nav.  to  Bull  and  speaks  French  in  the  savvy 
sections.  His  athletic  activities  are  widely  varied  from  mastering  swim- 
ming in  the  fall  to  sprinting  down  the  track  in  the  snow  or  sun,  the 
aquatic  gymnastics  being  more  than  balanced  by  the  green-bordered  "N" 
on  his  sweater.  Reading  is  more  than  a  hobby  with  Ace  for  when  he's 
boning  "Time"  or  the  daily  bumwad  nothing  less  than  the  scent  of  chow 
can  stir  him.  It  is  in  this  manner  that  he  keeps  himself  well  read  and  in- 
formed on  all  subjects.  Bob  possesses  the  usual  human  failings  but  is, 
nevertheless,  a  man  worth  emulating.

atic, with  a  natural  antipathy  for  literature,  lost  arguments,  and  his

that  or  any  other  subject  are  delivered  with  buoyancy  and  in  his  own  pe-

Academy  and  became  a  hard-working  Plebe.  His  only  attempts  at  ath-

up  sports  completely  in  favor  of  the  "sub  squad."  His  two  years  at  North

lost  his  stars  and  has  been  plugging  ever  since.  It  would  be  hard  to  find  a 
better  roommate,  for,  although  he  occasionally  turns  the  radio  on  too 
loud,  he  is  usually  quiet,  going  about  his  own  work,  but  always  willing

on  no  day  nor  even  hour  of  town  liberty  could  he  be  found  within  the  grey

for  everything  he  set  his  hand  to.  A  clear  mind  and  an  .attitude  of  '  'I  gotta

margin.  But  don't  tell  him  he's  savvy  or  he'll  beat  your  ears  in,  smiling 
modestly  all  the  time.  The  constant  fear  of  a  misplaced  chest  keeps  him  in

his  dragging  average  at  a  new  high  and  has  developed  an  intense  dislike  of

HAVING  cherished  the  fond  hope  of  wearing  the  gold  and  blue  since 
the  early  days  of  youth,  Howard  finally  attained  success  after  roam-

academic  standing  of  his  classmates,  he  took  up  the  study  of  current 
weekly  and  monthly  literature.  However,  the  academics  received  the  neces- 
sary attention  and  suffered  defeat  as  a  consequence.  "What  time  is  forma- 
tion?" has  been  a  much  repeated  question;  however,  when  we  see  the  ever-

in  routine  details  is  easily  understood.  Four  years  on  the  Severn  have 
passed,  and  now  that  a  commission  is  at  last  a  realization — what  better 
tribute  can  a  roommate  express  than  that  the  Service  has  gained  a  real  man 
and  I  have  lost  the  companionship  of  a  real  friend.

CHARLES  ANTHONY  MARINKE 

Beaver  Falls,  Pennsylvania 
"charlie"  "butch" 

ALTHOUGH  coming  from  Beaver  Falls,  Charlie  is  a  real  "Old  Salt." 
JT\.  Determination  is  his  greatest  virtue  as  can  be  seen  from  watching 
him  box  or  play  football.  He  boasts  that  he  has  taken  more  punches  than 
anyone  else  in  the  game  without  becoming  punch-drunk.  A  man's  man 
he  is,  but — oh,  how  smooth  with  the  ladies!  Watch  any  Baltimore  belle 
light  up  when  you  mention  his  name.  His  debonair  and  confident  manner 
seems  to  hold  a  fatal  charm  for  the  fair  sex.  Whether  it's  throwing  punches 
or  steering  drags  around,  Charlie  always  has  himself  well  in  hand.  He 
possesses  a  "snowing-under"  ability  that  is  unsurpassed.  In  the  Fleet, 
Academy,  and  prep  school  he  has  been  a  loyal  friend  and  roommate. 
Good  wishes  and  bon  voyage  follow  him  to  the  success  we  know  awaits 
him.

Claremont,  Virginia 

"swede"  "andy" 

BOASTING  a  long  line  of  rugged  seafaring  ancestors  plus  three  years  of 
service  in  our  Fleet,  Swede  comes  to  us  from  the  heart  of  the  South 
where  he  has  acquired  his  full  share  of  suave  manners  and  patriotic  ardor. 
An  apparent  radical,  Swede  is  at  times  soft-spoken  and  quiet,  although  he 
never  gives  vent  to  lukewarm  opinions  nor  tolerates  half-hearted  effort. 
His  conscientiousness  in  his  work  approaches  a  point  of  passion,  but  his 
devil-may-care  attitude  over  the  week-ends  reflects  a  varied  personality 
somewhat  paradoxical.  Along  with  playing  unorganized  basketball  and 
eternally  reading,  Swede  enjoys  deceiving  himself  about  women — par- 
ticularly Philadelphia's.  A  dependable,  considerate,  and  honorable  room- 
mate who,  no  matter  where  he  may  be,  should  always  be  found  on  top  of 
the  proverbial  heap.  I  remain  his  most  sincere  well-wisher.

ROBERT  AYRES  SCHELLING 

San  Diego,  California 
"bob"  "buster" 

A  FTER  living  in  almost  every  port  on  both  coasts,  Bob  finally  dropped 
jLA-  anchor  in  the  Severn  and  set  himself  about  the  task  of  becoming  an 
efficient  line  officer.  Into  every  fray  he  goes  with  an  agressive,  persevering 
spirit,  and  the  will  to  win.  He  has  met  the  onslaught  of  the  war  lords  of  all 
the  departments  and  has  come  out  with  a  grin.  His  greatest  delights  are 
knocking  over  opposing  gridiron  foes  and  shooting  pinwheel  bulls  in  the 
farthest  target.  When  evening  rolls  around,  Bob  fills  his  favorite  briar  with 
rough-cut  and  settles  down  to  enliven  a  bull  session  with  his  witticisms 
and  good  nature.  Although  a  snake  at  heart,  he  remained  true  to  the  one 
girl.  As  roommate,  friend,  and  shipmate,  Bob,  here's  to  you.

ALBERT  WILLIAM  ANDERSON 

Cranston,  Rhode  Island 
"andy"  "bud" 

THIS  descendant  of  a  seafaring  race  left  the  shores  of  Narragansett  Bay 
and  came  to  the  Naval  School  to  learn  how  to  handle  Uncle  Sam's 
battle  wagons.  Naturally  savvy,  he  found  it  easy  to  weather  the  academic 
storms  himself,  and  has  pulled  more  than  one  classmate  sat.  As  an  en- 
thusiastic member  of  both  Boat  and  Radio  Clubs  he  has  shown  himself 
equally  proficient  with  either  helm  or  transmitter  key.  He  is  most  de- 
cidely  not  a  snake  but  has  been  known  to  drag  when  the  occasion  demands. 
Usually  unassuming,  at  times  he  staggers  all  hands  with  his  argumentative 
powers.  Best  known  to  us  by  the  humorous  twinkle  in  his  eye,  the  rakish 
angle  to  his  cap,  and  his  almost  ever-present  supply  of  chow,  Andy  will 
make  a  swell  shipmate  wherever  he  sails.

JOHN  THOMAS  EVERSOLE 
Pocatello,  Idaho 

"tom" 

IT  took  a  brilliant  pep  talk  by  a  commander  to  persuade  Tom  to  leave  the 
wilds  of  Idaho.  He  came  not  with  bowed  legs  and  Western  drawl,  but 
with  a  pleasing  smile  and  attractive  personality.  While  he  claims  to  have 
denied  this  to  the  femmes  back  home,  he  is  no  novice  snake.  However,  he 
manages  to  hold  them  off  long  enough  to  show  his  hand  at  sports.  Buoyant 
of  mind  but  not  of  body,  his  one  plague  was  the  sub  squad.  But  nothing  so 
small  could  stop  Tom.  For  four  years  he's  been  a  fine  roommate  and  in  life 
he'll  make  an  excellent  shipmate — on  land,  at  sea,  or  in  the  air.  His  one 
ambition  is  to  fly  and  already  he  is  sprouting  wings.  May  his  flight 
through  life  be  a  smooth  one.

ERIC  ALLEN,  JR. 
Manchester,  Vermont 


ETHAN 


THE  Green  Mountains  lost  another  good  Republican  when  Eric  came 
to  Annapolis.  He  admits  he  was  headed  for  the  ministry,  but  finished 
by  casting  his  lot  with  Uncle  Sam  and  has  not  regretted  his  choice.  An  in- 
fectious grin  and  an  irrepressible  sense  of  humor  put  him  at  ease  anywhere, 
and  though  self-styled  a  misogynist,  has  always  been  ready  to  drag  for  a 
friend.  Well  known  for  his  famed  shower  rendition  of  "Danny  Deever," 
nevertheless  he  has  a  pleasing  voice  and  choir  and  Glee  Club  always  found 
him  present.  Around  the  pool,  Eric  and  unorthodox  dives  were  synony- 
mous, but  the  sub-squad  remembers  him  as  the  easiest  man  to  save.  Always 
a  good  roommate,  even  to  his  last  clean  gloves — may  we  someday  be 
shipmates.

SEAMANSHIP 

AND 

NAVIGATION 

TT  7HEN  you're  off,  you're  on,  and, 
V*  when  you're  on,  you're  off. "  The 
Nav  prof,  venerable  Dutton,  and  our 
countless  P-Works,  all  concurr — "Navi- 
gation is  not  an  exact  science."  The 
rudiments — rowing  lifeboats,  bright- 
work,  and  semaphore — occupied  our 
initial  efforts  in  seamanship.  Subsequent 
clashes  with  the  lubber's  squad,  life- 
buoy watches,  and  the  trials  of  Young- 
ster mid-watches  followed.  Then  came 
the  never-to-be-forgotten  Nav  P- Works, 
in  which  we  floundered  with  position 
plotters,  dividers,  colossal  charts,  and 
Bowditch;  while  radio  and  Rules  of  the 
Road  filled  our  final  days.  But  in  sub- 
chasers, on  destroyer  bridges,  in  wee 
sma'  hours  with  sextant  in  hand,  we 
have  learned  well  the  elements  of  the 
stadimeter  and  H.  O.  zn.  "Longitude 
west,  Greenwich  time  is  still  best." 
"Hong  Kong  Charlie's"  labors  are 
done.  Experience  now  remains  to  temper 
the  men  who  seek  to  elude  rocks  and 
shoals.

ORDNANCE 

AND 

GUNNERY 

GENTLEMEN,  this  is  a  military  de- 
partment." From  the  first  days  of 
Plebe  Summer  .spent  on  the  Rifle  Range 
to  the  final  days  in  Ballistics  and  Fire 
Control,  we  have  labored,  lamented, 
and  learned,  under  the  exacting  instruc- 
tion of  the  Ordnance  Department,  the 
essentials  and  groundwork  of  naval  gun- 
nery. In  the  Pistol  Gallery,  in  turrets 
and  broadside  batteries  on  the  Cruise  we 
saw  the  practical  demonstration  of  "It's 
the  shots  that  hit  that  count!"  The 
mysteries  of  the  bomb  sight,  the  in- 
evitable torpedo,  the  solution  of  the 
trajectory  in  air  we  boned  and  mastered. 
In  the  pursuit  of  a  career  that  demands 
"more  hits  per  gun  per  minute,"  we 
fledglings  learned  to  respect  the  austere 
denizens  of  the  Armory's  cubby  holes, 
whose  tireless  efforts  now  send  to  the 
Fleet  men  well-trained  that  the  might 
of  her  ships  may  not  wane.

EAT  in  equals  heat  out!"  "Don't

apace.  Thermo  strained  smoking  slip-

lag!  To  prepare  a  broad  and  compre- 
hensive introduction,  "skinny"  profs 
groomed  us  in  the  ways  of  the  atom,  the 
ion,  and  osmosis;  delivered  their  charges 
to  the  renowned  savant  whose  Satur- 
day morning  rides  on  bicycle  wheels 
forever  dispelled  any  doubts  that  torque 
did  not  equal  "I Y  Buttonhole. ' '  Ushered 
into  the  long  halls  strewn  with  motors, 
generators,  and  labyrinthine  switch- 
boards, we  learned  quickly  to  close  the 
breaker  first,  to  put  the  volt-meters 
across  the  line,  to  acknowledge  that  a 
series  motor  is  not  a  constant  speed 
device.  Now  forward  dynamo  rooms

TO  the  y  j-,  E  to  the  y  ^,  integ-

uberant disdain  of  the  Youngster  war- 
cry  cannot  sully  the  import  of  the  Math 
prof's  part  in  our  preparation  for  service 
afloat.  The  Plebe's  frays  with  Algebra

P-Works,  the  Youngster's  survival  of 
Calculus  and  Mechanics  built  most 
necessary  pillars  to  the  professional

bent  over  a  chart  on  a  dimly-lit  bridge 
laying  off  course,  speed,  and  current,  or 
far  below  in  the  plotting  room  assemb- 
ling, computing,  and  sending  out  data 
to  great  turrets,  the  naval  officer  is  em- 
ploying fundamental  principles  of 
mathematics.  Always  to  be  remembered 
are  the  first  section  savoir  who  always 
tripped  his  two  neighbors  in  his  mad 
dash  for  the  board,  the  wild  elation  of 
"Burying  Math,"  and  our  math  prof 
Captain  who  took  the  President  to

gentlemen  familiar  with  history  and

deft  in  writing  in  lucid,  concise,  and

Initiated  into  the  mechanics  of  compo- 
sition, the  Plebes  progressed  into  analy- 
sis of  the  Romanticists  and  their  for- 
bears. Youngsters  found  the  tales  of 
Naval  History  a  fascinating  study, 
while  second  classmen  read,  marked,

events,  the  consumption  of  cigars  at 
After  Dinner  Speaking,  and  arduous 
labors  expended  on  theses  taxed  the 
energies  of  staid  first  classmen.  The  de- 
partment has  generously  given  us  the 
training  to  meet  and  greet  the  world.

TV  yf  ESSIEURS,  prenez  les  fiches  et 
-L^-L  allez  au  tableau  noir!"  The  wide- 
spread peregrinations  of  a  naval  officer 
demand  the  use  of  a  foreign  tongue,  and, 
to  equip  him  with  this  ability,  the  Dago 
Department  shares  its  part  in  our  cur- 
riculum. The  opportunities  of  Youngster 
Cruise  at  once  dispelled  fears  conjured 
up  by  Plebe  trees — remember  the  boy 
who  confused  "damen"  with  "herren"? 
When  we  manned  the  rail  for  foreign 
monarchs  and  they  came  aboard  with 
attaches,  accomplished  linguists,  then 
did  we  appreciate  the  advantages  of 
ability  to  speak  a  strange  language 
fluently.  The  onerous  clashes  with 
"dictes,"  the  pseudo  transactions  with 
purveyors  of  provisions  and  fuel,  the 
study  of  foreign  versions  of  modern 
naval  engagements,  laid  before  us  the 
need  of  diligent  application.  Someday 
there'll  be  no  jovial  "4.0  Fournon"  to 
prompt  the  boarding  officer,  but  he'll 
emerge  with  flying  colors,  for  these 
lessons  will  not  soon  be  forgotten.

PHYSICAL 
TRAINING 

T^ALL  out,  take  off  your  'joiseys,' 
-*-  fall  in  again!"  Because  sound  minds 
must  function  in  healthy  bodies,  the 
Physical  Training  Department  provides 
extensive  facilities  for  every  type  of 
physical  development,  offers  recreation 
to  everyone,  and  affords  him  the  chance 
to  play  in  every  sport  from  handball  to 
crew.  With  the  elemental  requirements 
of  rope-climbing  and  swimming  an  ap- 
proved crawl  once  surmounted,  what 
midshipman  has  not  enjoyed  long  hours 
spent  grunting  on  the  wrestling  mat, 
jogging  about  the  track,  or  flailing  a 
stout  lacrosse  stick.  Not  only  to  make 
him  trim  and  fit,  but  to  train  the  junior 
officer  to  take  an  active  part  in  Fleet 
athletics,  Mr.  Mang  and  his  associates 
direct  the  activities  of  MacDonough 
Hall.  Whether  on  the  varsity  first  string 
or  just  in  the  games  of  "touch"  on  Far- 
ragut  Field,  each  man  entering  the 
service  carries  with  him  the  mark  of 
the  gym  and  the  playing  field.

HYGIENE 


Captain  Reynolds  Hayden,  (M.C.) 
Head  of  Department 


TT7"ATER,  water  everywhere,  and 
^  *  not  a  drop  to  drink!"  Sanitation, 
the  best  of  living  conditions,  and  per- 
sonal health,  are  prime  essentials  on 
board  a  warship,  and  it  is  of  import  that 
every  officer  be  acquainted  with  the 
principles  of  hygiene.  "lis  a  far  cry  from 
the  era  of  scurvy  and  hardtack  to  the 
present  day,  when  the  ship's  company  is 
efficiently  and  thoroughly  ministered 
to  in  well-equipped  sick  bays,  spotless 
galleys,  and  dining  halls;  and  an  officer 
today  must  be  all  the  more  mindful  of 
the  health  of  his  men  and  himself.  To 
this  end,  the  Hygiene  Department  inter- 
jects our  lone  lecture  course  into  busy 
days  to  mitigate  the  academic  trials  of 
stoic  first  classmen.  Memorable  are  the 
trees  that  looked  like  striper  muster  lists 
and  that  once  chalked  up  the  all-time 
record  monthly  mark  of  .33;  the  "com- 
munity' '  recitation  system;  the  practical 
value  of  the  Doctor's  lessons.  The  potent 
evil  of  obnoxious  mosquitoes,  the  func- 
tions of  the  body's  organs,  the  normal 
guides  to  good  health  we  learned  to  re- 
member when  experience  afloat  demands 
their  application.

EXECUTIVE 

QAIL  ho!  Two  points  on  the  port 
^  quarter,  sir!"  The  duty  officer  strides 
by,  the  symbol  of  authority,  but  upon 
him  and  the  officers  of  his  department 
devolves  the  task  of  molding  leaders, 
alert  to  obey,  fit  to  command.  To  initiate 
each  man  into  the  devious  channels  of 
"the  system;"  to  exact  of  him  the 
Navy's  standards  of  thoroughness,  fidel- 
ity, and  duty;  to  produce  an  officer  of 
character  and  ability;  we've  stood 
watches,  frapped  the  pap,  and  drawn 
swords.  With  the  heritage  of  John  Paul 
Jones,  Farragut,  and  Byrd  to  inspire 
him,  each  man  has  endured  the  duress  of 
routine  and  discipline  to  anticipate  his 
naval  career  with  ambition  and  high 
resolve.  That  officers  of  the  Navy  are 
regarded  as  able  representatives  of  their 
country,  that  they  are  well-trained  to 
command  men  o'  war  and  defend  a 
great  nation  may  be  ascribed  in  due 
measure  to  the  endeavors  of  the  Com- 
mandant's department.

WITH  Lt.  Hank  Hardwick  as  OTC,  Navy  opened  its  1937  season  with 
a  fine  display  of  scoring  ability  by  rolling  up  a  45-0  victory  over 
the  traditional  first  game  opponents — William  and  Mary.  But  as  far  as 
scores  are  to  be  considered,  this  first  game  proved  to  be  the  Abhou  Ben 
Adam  by  leading  all  the  rest.  A  season  graph  would  show  a  steady  drop 
in  scores  through  the  next  two  games,  crossing  the  zero  line  with  a  0-0 
tie  with  Harvard  in  the  Baltimore  Municipal  Stadium,  and  remaining 
below  the  zero  line  for  the  remainder  of  the  season  except  for  one  return 
to  pay  dirt  occasioned  by  a  wonderful  display  of  regimental  spirit  and  a 
13-6  victory  over  Columbia.  However,  this  effort  was  followed  by  a  return 
to  the  wrong  side  of  the  fence  with  a  bad  day  against  Princeton,  and  a

heart-breaking  6-0  defeat  at  the  heels  of  the 
Army  mule  on  the  last  and  wettest  Saturday 
of  November. 

A  rather  disappointing  season  from  the 
victory  angle  was  more  than  offset  by  the 
development  of  team  loyalty  and  regimental 
spirit  culminating  in  the  greatest  exhibition 
of  enthusiasm  and  hubbah-hubbah,  during 
the  entire  week  preceding  the  Columbia 
game  that  old  Bancroft  has  absorbed  in  many 
a  year.  One  of  the  biggest  points  in  the  '37 
season  was  the  show  of  fighting  spirit  and 
football  ability  among  the  underclass  mem- 
bers of  the  team.  At  the  start  of  the  season, 
all  hands  considered  the  senior  combination 
of  Antrim,  McFarland,  Case,  and  Ingram,

with  Reimann  as  chief  watch-reliever,  as  the  settled  first  string  backfield. 
But  as  the  season  rolled  along,  Cooke  and  Franks  of  the  second  class,  and 
Whitehead  and  Wood  of  the  third  class,  moved  up  to  run  with  Antrim  as 
the  first  string  backfield.  In  the  line,  the  playing  of  such  underclassmen  as 
Wallace  at  center,  Bergner  and  Hysong  at  tackle,  Powell  and  Corbett  at 
end,  and  Spector  at-guard  caused  their  names  to  appear  on  the  majority  of 
starting  line-ups,  and  spells  out  a  prophecy  for  the  Hudson  Bluff  boys, 
and  the  rest  of  the  '38  opponents. 

On  looking  back,  the  general  opinion  is  that  none  of  the  season's  scores 
were  true  indications  of  Navy's  relative  strength.  However,  no  alibi  is 
offered  as  superior  playing  was  often  offset  by  bad  "breaks."  The  games 


in  succession,  offered  the  following  interest- 
ing details: 

The  season's  opener  showed  the  public  a 
fine  Navy  team  starring  as  a  whole  rather 
than  as  individuals.  The  questioned  center 
position  found  the  flawless  passing  of  Fincher 
and  Wallace  as  a  welcomed  answer.  Two 
touchdowns  were  made  against  William  and 
Mary  in  the  first  quarter  with  the  prettiest 
play  of  the  game  being  climaxed  by  the 
second  touchdown.  This  play  started  as  a 
wide  end  run  by  Ingram,  but  after  traversing 
half  the  field,  he  stopped  and  heaved  a  35 
yard  pass  to  Powell  who  promptly  carried 
the  ball  over.  The  second  quarter  saw  Coach 
Hardwick  inaugurating  his   policy  of  sub-

stituting  a  few  men  at  a  time  and  the  Indians  held  their  ground  fairly 
well  until  the  half.  The  first  string  returned  to  the  game  during  the 
third  period  but  were  almost  entirely  replaced  by  the  second  string 
who  played  remarkably  during  the  last  quarter.  The  fine  spirited 
playing  of  Bunch  was  the  visitor's  outstanding  contribution,  while 
the  line  bucking  of  McFarland  and  Reimann  pleased  the  Navy  crowd. 
The  45-0  result  was  a  bit  more  than  was  expected. 
Antrim  The  second  game  of  the  season  brought  a  fighting  team  of  Cadets 

from  the  Citadel,  who  won  the  admiration  of  every  Navy  fan  by  a  splendid  exhibition  of  clean, 
spirited  play  against  a  superior  team.  The  boys  from  the  south  presented  one  of  the  hardest  running 
attacks  seen  in  Annapolis  all  season,  and  they  held  the  Midshipmen  to  one  touchdown  during 
the  first  half,  which  was  scored  by  Wood.  This  game  was  something  of  a  team  prophecy  as  Cooke 
and  Wood  served  notice  to  the  first  class  backfield.  The  second  half  brought  the  Navy  total  to  32. 
points,  but  the  southern  lads  stopped  fighting  only  at  the  final  whistle.  King,  the  visiting  captain 
and  brother  of  the  King  of  West  Point  football  fame,  turned  in  a  fine  defensive  game,  while  Robinson 
repeatedly  exerted  the  Navy  secondaries  in  vain  efforts  to  prevent  a  shutout. 

To  Virginia  fell  the  honor  of 
being  the  first  to  cross  Navy's 
goal  line.  Considered  as  a  step- 
ping stone  for  the  Harvard  game, 
the  Cavaliers  tossed  a  real  scare 
into  the  Middies,  and  only  a 
splendid  fourth  quarter  gave 
Navy  a  40-13  victory.  At  the 
half  the  score  was  tied,  and  at  the 
end  of  the  third  quarter,  Navy 
led  by  only  one  touchdown.  The 
fourth  quarter  witnessed  a  grand 
goal  line  stand  by  the  Salts  in 
response  to  a  desperate  scoring 
gesture  by  the  Virginians.  But 
with  that  thrust  halted,  Navy 
immediately  turned  on  the  man 
power  and  the  defense  of  the 
visitor's  wearily  fell  apart.  In- 
gram's injury  gave  Cooke  an  op- 
portunity which  he  made  the 
most  of.  Whitehead  also  entered

the  game  to  score  in  the  last  quarter,  and  showed  plenty  of  offensive 
ability.  Males,  for  the  second  year,  proved  the  visitor's  best. 

The  first  out  of  town  game  presented  Navy  a  scoreless  tie  with 
Harvard  in  Baltimore  Municipal  Stadium.  This  game  was  replete 
with  thrills,  near  touchdowns,  and  plenty  of  boners.  But  Harvard, 
undefeated  until  the  Navy  game,  almost  had  to  win,  both  to  revenge 
the  previous  year's  defeat,  and  to  raise  Harlow's  prestige  in  his  old 
home  town.  The  Harvard  boys  copped  all  the  first  half  bows,  un-  Cooke 

covering  a  mystifying  single  wing  formation  with  Vernon  Struck  as  the  nucleus,  but  with  the 
ball  being  given  to  either  Foley  or  Oakes.  Twice  in  this  half,  Oakes  tossed  beautiful  passes  to 
Foley  who  dropped  both  on  the  5  yard  line  without  a  man  being  in  reach  of  him.  Another  pass 
from  Oakes  to  Green  was  carried  by  the  latter  to  Navy's  4  yard  line  where  Cooke,  after  an  amazing 
display  of  cross-field  speed,  tripped  him  up.  A  fine  goal  line  stand  found  the  ball  going  to  Navy 
on  our  own  16  yard  line.  The  second  half  belonged  to  Navy  because  of  superior  power.  The  final 
play  of  the  game  proved  to  be  the  most  thrilling,  as  Ingram,  entering  late  in  the  fourth  quarter, 
tossed  a  pass  to  Powell,  who  was  forced  out  on  the  3  yard  line.  But  the  final  gun  had  been  fired 
with  the  ball  in  air. 


Navy's  game  with  Notre  Dame 
was  played  at  South  Bend  in  a 
light  snowstorm.  Her  9-7  victory 
revenged  the  3-0  defeat  handed 
the  Irish  the  year  before,  in 
Baltimore,  when  Ingram's  drop- 
kick  was  the  deciding  factor.  A 
story  book  finish  by  the  fighting 
Irish,  after  being  badly  mauled 
in  the  first  half,  gave  them  a 
fourth  quarter  victory.  The  game 
opened  with  Navy  taking  the 
kickoff  on  her  34  yard  line,  then 
driving  straight  down  the  field  to 
the  opponent's  13,  with  Cooke 
carrying  the  ball  10  straight 
times .  There  Notre  Dame  held  but 
the  score  was  merely  delayed  as  a 
fumble  by  Thesing  was  recovered 
by  Gunderson,  quickly  converted 
into    a    touchdown    by    Cooke,

with  Wood  placekicking  the  extra  point.  Another 
march  in  the  second  period  ended  on  the  Notre 
Dame  zz  yard  line  because  of  mixed  signals. 
However,  the  Irish  made  only  one  first  down, 
and  had  possession  of  the  ball  in  Navy  territory 
only  once  during  the  first  half.  Franks,  Antrim, 
and  Lynch  were  towers  of  strength  on  the  de- 
fense. In  the  second  half,  the  navy  team,  with 
few  substitutions,  and  minus  the  mudcleats  and 
rubberized  trou  of  the  Irish,  held  until  the  open- 
ing of  the  fourth  quarter,  when  McCarthy  cut 
through  center  and  ran  for  a  touchdown.  Puplis 
then  entered  the  game  and  placekicked  the  extra 
point.  A  second  touchdown  was  prevented  by  . 
Reimann  who  knocked  Puplis  out  of  bounds  on 
Navy's  10  yard  marker,  after  a  50  yard  return  of 
Cooke's  punt.  McCarthy's  fumble  was  recovered 
on  the  5  yard  line,  but  McFarland,  receiving  a 
low  pass  from  center,  fumbled  his  attempt  to 
punt,  and  was  downed  for  a  safety  by  Notre 
Dame.  These  2.  points  proved  the  winning  margin. 
The  Navy-Penn  game  found  the  big  blue  team 
(in  white)  a  bit  off-form,  and  definitely  out  of 
luck.  But  the  14-7  final  doesn't  do  justice  to  the 
power  and  development  shown  by  Navy.  Nor 
does  it  inform  one  of  Wood's  72.  yard  run,  right 
smack  through  the  whole  Penn  team,  for  a  touch- 
down— only  to  have  it  nullified  because  of  the 
only  offside  penalty  of  the  game.  Penn  scored 
twice  in  the  second  period  with  one  tally  the 
result  of  a  blocked  punt  that  bounced  wrong  for 
us  and  right  for  them.  Navy's  lone  score  was 
made  by  Wood  on  a  short  plunge,  in  the  third

quarter.  Pete  Powell  was  a  shining  light,  both 
on  the  offense  and  the  defense. 

The  Columbia  game,  the  last  home  game  of 
the  season,  proved  to  be  Navy's  last  victory. 
Navy  spirit  was  high  as  the  result  of  the  preceed- 
ing  week's  pep  rallies.  Despite  the  remarkable 
playing  and  passing  of  Columbia's  Luckman, 
Navy  didn't  let  the  home  folks  down,  although 
everyone  left  the  stadium  with  a  wholesome 
respect  for  Lion  Luckman.  Cooke  was  in  his 
usual  fine  form  and  Wood  and  McFarland  turned 
in  excellent  supporting  roles.  But  Luckman' s 
accurate  passing  and  punting,  in  spite  of  the  fast 
charging  Navy  line  with  Bergner,  Fike,  and 
Player  as  the  spearheads,  stamped  him  as  the 
game's  hero.  Navy's  fine  running  attack  with 
Wood  and  Cooke  totin'  the  pigskin,  gained 
Navy  its  first  counter  in  the  first  period.  But 
Luckman's  passing  proved  a  constant  threat  to 
the  Middies  and  netted  the  Lions  their  only 
touchdown,  in  the  third  period  with  Radvilas 
receiving  and  carrying  the  ball  over.  McFarland, 
who  replaced  the  injured  Wood  near  the  close  of 
the  second  quarter,  twice  saved  the  day  by 
knocking  down  Luckman's  passes  into  the  end 
zone.  But  it  remained  for  Franks  to  salt  the 
game  away  by  intercepting  another  of  Luckman's 
passes  in  the  final  quarter,  and  running  50  yards 
for  a  touchdown  to  give  Navy  a  13-6  victory. 

The  Princeton  game  proved  a  big  disappoint- 
ment for  the  Navy  followers.  Pre-game  dope 
conceded  everything  to  the  Middies  as  Princeton 
had  already  been  thrashed  by  Cornell,  Dartmouth,

Harvard,  and  Yale.  The  Princeton  line 
finally  hit  it's  stride  and  clicked  as  a  well- 
knit  unit.  The  tiger  scored  in  the  first  3 
minutes  on  a  pass,  and  continued  to  hold 
the  upper  hand  with  Navy's  last  desperate 
passing  attack  in  the  fourth  quarter  being 
stopped  by  an  interception.  Princeton's 
Jack  White,  playing  his  last  season  in  a 
tiger  skin,  brought  everyone  to  their  feet 
by  a  73  yard  dash  for  the  final  touchdown. 
Navy's  lone  score  came  as  the  result  of  a 
58  yard  punt  return  by  Wood  in  the 
second  quarter,  and  was  magnified  in  im- 
portance because  of  its  being  the  first  Navy 
score  in  Princeton  since  193 1.  Bergner's 
injury  in  the  fourth  quarter,  which  put 
him  out  for  the  rest  of  the  season,  was 
Navy's  biggest  loss. 


The  punting  of  Wilson  and  Craig,  the 
fine  Army  line,  and  the  rain,  were  the 
chief  points  of  the  Army  game.  Army's 
defensive  strength  centered  around  Hart- 
line,  a  powerful  center,  and  was  of  such 
calibre  that  in  the  first  half  Navy  moved 
no  nearer  West  Point's  goal  than  the 
Army's  49.  Wilson's  remarkable  kicking 
featured  the  first  half  with  successive 
boots  going  out  on  the  11,  13,  11,  and  19 
yard  lines.  Army's  winning  score  came  in 
the  first  quarter  after  Cooke,  as  safety 
man,  twice  knifed  through  interference  to 
spill  goalward  bound  Kaydets,  the  last 
being  on  the  2.  yard  line.  From  there, 
Craig  plunged  over  in  2.  tries.  Navy  dis- 
played more  power  in  the  second  half 
with  Wood  receiving  the  opening  kickoff

on  his  own  35  yard  line,  then  alternating 
with  Cooke  in  carrying  it  to  Army's  16 
where  Army  won  the  ball  on  downs.  This 
was  Navy's  last  scoring  threat.  White- 
head's willowy  style  of  ball  carrying 
proved  effective  in  gaining  yardage,  and 
along  with  Wood  and  Cooke,  provided 
Navy's  offensive  strength.  Bob  Antrim, 
in  his  swan  role,  won  the  admiration  of 
ioz,ooo  spectators  for  his  fine  line-backing. 
One  of  his  vicious  blocks  against  Jack 
Ryan  on  an  off  tackle  sweep  by  the  Army 
man,  caused  the  West  Pointer  to  be  carried 
from  the  field. 

"B"  SQUAD 

The  "B's"  opened  their  '37  season  by 
crushing  Western  Maryland  44-0.  Pennsyl- 
vania, with  a  baffling  five-man  defense  was 
the  next  to  try  its  luck,  only  to  be  left 
holding  the  wrong  end  of  a  33-0  shutout. 
The  Junior  Varsity  then  ran  roughshod  over 
Rutgers  to  roll  up  a  fantastic  119-0  score 
and  tie  an  old  Navy  record.  Temple's  Owls 
were  the  fourth,  last  and  toughest  victims. 
Navy's  13-7  lead  at  the  half  was  boosted 
by  a  70-yard  touchdown  gallop  by  Graves 
at  the  opening  of  the  third  quarter.  But 
Temple  came  back  to  score  twice  in  suc- 
cession and  led  zi-19  until  Graves'  field 
goal  from  the  15  gave  Navy  a  12.-2.1  vic- 
tory. Mayo,  Muse,  Graves,  and  Holovak 
in  the  backfield  and  Schlacks,  Rynd,  and 
Giffen  in  the  line  contributed  much  to  the 
power  and  spirit  of  the  squad  and  were 
continuous  threats  to  those  holding  down 
varsity  berths.

BASKETBALL 


Lynch 


WELL-STOCKED  with  returning  regulars,  the  Navy  basketball 
team  commenced  an  auspicious  season  that  boasted  eleven  vic- 
tories and  lamented  three  defeats,  including  the  disappointing  reversal 
in  the  titular  Army  game. 

Duke  fell  first  in  the  campaign.  Bobby  Gillette  led  a  whirlwind  attack, 
scoring  14  points  on  his  own,  and  the  final  score  was  Navy  43 — Duke  30. 
Practically  the  entire  squad  played  against  the  much-heralded  Blue 
Devils. 

Virginia  followed  close  on  Duke's  heels  and  met  the  same  fate,  Navy 
36 — Virginia  14.  John  Wilson's  men  displayed  great  improvement  in 
their  approach  game  and  their  shooting.  Again  the  entire  squad  entered 
the  game  to  win  from  the  Cavaliers,  heretofore  undefeated. 

The  following  Saturday  University  of  Pennsylvania  took  Navy  into 
camp  and  walloped  them  47  to  36.  Alan  McFarland  distinguished  himself 
as  Navy's  high  point  man  with  18  points.  Navy's  long  pass  plays  nettled 
Penn's  men,  but  the  Palestra,  nevertheless,  proved  the  scene  of  Navy's 
first  defeat. 

Gettysburg  in  the  succeeding  game  atoned  for  Navy's  initial  loss, 
succumbing  at  the  end  of  a  thrilling  game  with  a  score  of  36  to  31. 
Laney's  three  successive  field  goals  and  Coach  Wilson's  strategy  of  rush- 
ing eased  critical  moments,  dissipating  the  threat  of  high  scorer  Bommer 
of  the  Bullets,  and  Ghesquiere's  good  foul  shots  assured  Navy's  win. 


434 


Navy's  speed,  height,  coordination,  and  reserves  completely  annihi- 
lated Western  Maryland — 50-2.6,  although  Navy's  faulty  marksmanship 
was  conspicuous  for  its  net  of  2.1  baskets  in  80  tries. 

The  University  of  Baltimore  could  combat  its  odds  with  speed,  but  its 
efforts  could  not  thwart  a  victory  of  56-31.  George  Ghesquiere  captured 
high  point  honors,  and  Bill  Ingram's  fine  guarding  was  augmented  by 
his  scoring  three  baskets. 

The  hardest  game  of  the  season  completed  was  with  Washington  and 
Jefferson,  whose  fast  'passing  and  consistent  breaking  of  Navy's  close 
zone  defense  brought  34  points,  but  Navy  gathered  in  40,  largely  be- 
cause of  the  spark  furnished  by  Ghesquiere  and  the  fine  game  turned  in 
by  McFarland  and  Laney. 

Peculiar  for  its  spectacular  rallies  at  the  close  of  each  half,  University 
of  Maryland  could  not  stave  off  Navy's  flurry  of  goals  at  the  beginning 
of  both  halves  and  lost  a  see-saw  battle  37-34.  Particularly  baffling  to 
the  midshipmen  was  Maryland's  well-played  zone  defense.  However,  it 
was  not  effective  enough  to  ever  threaten  Navy's  early  lead,  and  for  the 
third  successive  time  Ghesquiere  was  high-point  man,  counting  five 
times. 

The  Columbia  men,  old  rivals,  Eastern  Intercollegiate  runner-ups  with 
Penn,  finally  experienced  a  turning  of  the  tables.  Navy  won  38  to  1.^, 
scoring  its  eighth  straight  victory.  Again  Ghesquiere  stood  out  as  the 
Lions  were  rushed  off  their  feet. 

The  most  impressive  score  of  the  season,  61-2.0,  recorded  William  and 
Mary's  disastrous  game,  directly  ascribed  to  the  brilliant  play  of  "short 
stuff"  Gillette. 

Virginia  Military  Institute  lost  46  to  1,2.  as  the  second  and  third 
strings  joined  the  varsity  in  scoring  Navy's  tenth  straight  victory.

Temple  disrupted  Navy's  fine  season  in  the 
most  mad-cap,  hair-raising  game  of  the  en- 
tire season.  Heavy  favorites,  Temple  launch- 
ed a  professional  attack  with  Shileds,  Bloom, 
and  Boyle  displaying  terrific  speed  and  re- 
markable shooting — more  on  the  style  of 
Stanford  and  Long  Island  University.  The 
final  result,  Temple  61 — Navy  58,  was  the 
end  of  a  battle  that  found  the  score  tied 
seven  times  during  the  game.  Ghesquiere 
shone  as  high  point  man  for  the  game  with 
2.4  points;  McFarland  trailed  on  his  heels 
with  19;  and  Temple's  aces  followed  in  close 
succession.  Mansfield  and  Ingram  performed 
superbly  at  guard.  This  was  by  far  the  Navy's 
finest  play  of  the  entire  year. 

Catholic  University  could  not  withstand 
the  wake  of  Navy's  terrific  battle  with 
Temple,  the  preceding  game,  but  the  fish- 
eaters  staged  stubborn  opposition  before  los- 
ing 57  to  33.  Alan  McFarland  played  the 
best  game  of  his  career,  scoring  seven  times 
from  the  court  and  capitalizing  on  eight  out 
of  nine  foul  shots.  George  Ghesquiere  was 
next  Navy  high  score  man  with  ten  points. 
Navy  got  under  way  in  whirlwind  style  and 
rolled  up  t.^  points  to  their  opponents'  first 
ten  minutes'  collection  of  4  points,  at  which 
the  tally  rested  at  half  time.  The  second  half 

required  the  Navy  varsity  for  all  but  three  minutes,  but  the  Catholic  men,  nevertheless, 
stiffened  their  defense,  outplayed  Navy  30  to  2.2.,  only  to  bow  to  the  final  score,  57  to  33. 

After  this  fine  season's  play  the  Army  game  at  West  Point,  February  z6th,  was  an  un- 
fortunate climax.  Navy  entered  the  contest  with  but  two  defeats — Penn  and  Temple; 
Army  had  incurred  one  at  the  hands  of  Yale.  Without  the  assistance  of  its  towering  center, 
Tiny  Lynch,  Navy's  line-up  did  not  compare  favorably  with  that  of  Army,  thoroughly 
primed  with  its  ace,  Brinker,  and  McDavid  at  forwards,  Rogner,  the  lone  first  classman, 
at  center,  and  Samuel  and  Sullivan  at  guards.  Thus,  the  Kaydets  were  conceded  the  edge  in 
pre-game  speculations;  these  were  substantiated  as  the  game  progressed,  since  Navy  was 
not  quite  in  its  expected  form. 

Navy  opened  up  well  and  held  the  lead  for  the  first  six  minutes,  employing  a  quick  break

from  zone  defense.  Unluckily,  that  proved  to  be  right  up  Army's  alley,  and  shortly  Army 
was  penetrating  the  opposing  defense  at  will.  Brinker  set  the  pace  for  his  teammates,  and 
at  the  half  the  score  stood  Army,  2.2. — Navy,  18. 

With  the  beginning  of  the  second  half  Navy  shifted  her  hapless  break  from  the  zone 
defense  to  a  man-to-man  defense,  but  their  strategy  was  futile.  Laney  was  forced  from  the 
game  with  a  bad  leg,  and  Lynch  played  for  a  brief  interval — exceedingly  well  despite  his 
bad  knee  and  brace.  Navy  was  in  decidedly  poor  fettle,  Captain  Alan  McFarland  serving 
as  the  only  bulwark  against  the  disappointing  let  down  as  he  played  a  beautiful,  all-around 
game  and  made  Navy's  high  score  of  13  points.  Jack  Mansfield  and  Spider  Ingram  were 
again  the  fine  guards.  Army's  Brinker  surpassed  McFarland  with  a  total  of  19  for  the  high 
point  honors  of  the  day.  The  final  score  was  an  unhappy  reminder  of  the  first  half,  equaling 
exactly  twice  the  half-time  reading:  Army  44 — Navy  36.  The  standing  in  the  series  of  service 

games  is  now  Navy,  8  victories — Army,  7. 

Johnny  Wilson  thus  ended  his  izth  season  as 
Navy's  basketball  coach.  His  assistant  was  Lt. 
G.  K.  Carmichael.  Prospects  for  the  38-39 
season  are  excellent,  for  returning  regulars  are: 
Gillette,  Ghesquiere,  Laney,  Geis,  Dinsmore, 
i5|id  Royalty.  The  season's  final  summary  indi- 
cates a  most  creditable  record:  Out  of  14  games 
played,  Navy  won  n,  lost  but  3.

BASEBALL  1937 

BASEBALL  is  generally  considered  as  being  the  true  harbinger  of 
spring,  even  more  reliable  than  that  old  malady  known  as  "spring 
fever."  Yet,  this  supposition  is  not  strictly  true,  for  long  before  warm 
weather  anchors  in,  practice  has  begun,  and  some  games  have  been 
played. 

The  team  this  year  was  characterized  by  its  newness.  Marty  Karow,  a 
former  Ohio  State  athlete,  as  the  new  coach  headed  the  list  of  newcomers 
while  several  of  last  year's  plebe  squad  developed  into  material  capable 
of  filling  Varsity  positions.  Outstanding  among  these  Youngsters  was 
the  battery  composed  of  Jerry  Bruckel  as  pitcher  and  Eddie  O'Herron  as 
catcher.  New  additions  from  the  Second  Class  included  Lem  Cooke  at 
third,  McGuinness  at  short,  Thompson,  the  steadiest  fielder  on  the 
team,  at  second,  and  Ralph  Mann,  the  clean-up  man,  as  patroller  of  the 
right  field.  Veterans  from  the  previous  season  filled  the  remaining  posts 
with  Anderson  and  Ingram  of  the  outfield  providing  most  of  the  hitting 
power  in  addition  to  doing  excellent  jobs  of  cutting  down  on  opponents' 
potential  hits.  First  base  was  held  down  by  Captain  Matheson,  the  most 
consistent  hitter  on  the  squad.  Schroeder,  McFarlrnd,  Sbisa,  and  Pace 
composed  the  alternate  infield,  either  as  a  unit  or  individually.  Out- 
standing also  were  McKay  and  El  jot  in  the  box,  Adair  receiving,  and 
Lucian  Powell,  general  utility  man,  whose  chief  assets  lay  in  his  speed 
and  smart  base-running.

The  season  opened  with  Navy  losing  a  close  game  to  Vermont,  the 
winning  run  being  scored  in  the  ninth  inning.  The  following  week,  Navy 
avenged  itself  at  the  expense  of  Harvard  in  a  free-hitting  game,  with  the 
final  score  resting  at  Navy  iz — Harvard  10.  This  victory  over  Harvard, 
however,  did  not  mean  that  the  next  big  three  opponents  would  go 
down  any  easier,  as  the  next  Saturday  Princeton  collected  four  runs  after 
two  outs  had  been  made  in  the  ninth  inning  to  present  them  with  a  7-2. 
victory. 

The  third  game  of  the  season  saw  Navy  stock  on  the  rise.  Gettysburg 
jumped  to  a  quick  lead  because  of  two  walks  and  a  home  run.  The  home 
team  duplicated  that  score  by  two  walks,  a  double  by  Ralph  Mann,  and 
an  error  which  permitted  him  to  slide  home.  The  visitors  again  took  the 
lead  through  the  medium  of  a  home  run  with  a  man  on  base,  but  Navy 
rallied  to  win  6-5 . 

The  Michigan  game  started  perfectly  for  the  midshipmen.  In  the  first 
inning,  with  three  men  on  base,  Anderson  took  the  opposing  pitcher  out 
of  trouble  by  connecting  for  the  circuit.  Four  more  runs  in  the  third 
proved  to  be  sufficient  for  Navy  to  win  handily  8-z.  Then,  on  April  19,  the 
nine  experienced  something  out  of  the  ordinary  in  an  exhibition  game 
with  the  Baltimore  Orioles,  a  professional  club.  Although  the  home 
talent  made  a  creditable  showing,  experience  and  superior  batting  power 
gave  the  pros  a  9-6  victory. 

On  the  first  of  May,  Navy  copped  a  close  one  from  William  and  Mary 
on  its  first  sally  into  enemy  territory.  The  final  score  stood  at  9  to  8  with 
Pete  Powell  supplying  the  winning  run  as  the  result  of  his  triple  and

Matheson's  single.  The  succeeding  four  games  were  little  more  than  batting  practice  for 
the  Midshipmen  who  won  by  large  scores  from  West  Virginia,  Temple,  Western  Mary- 
land, and  Richmond  U.  Loose  fielding  by  the  opponents,  and  long  distance  hitting  by 
Mann  and  Ingram  featured  these  contests. 

After  this  last  spree,  Navy  experienced  a  definite  let-down,  losing  a  hair-raiser  to 
Lafayette,  and  a  close  one  to  Georgetown.  Exhibitions  of  good  and  bad  baseball  with  a 
large  number  of  personal  errors,  contributed  much  to  the  final  scores. 

In  the  annual  June  Week  game  with  West  Point,  on  their  own  field  this  time,  the  Cadets 
jumped  to  an  early  lead  with  three  big  runs  during  their  half  of  the  first  inning.  Navy 
replied  with  two  runs  in  the  fourth  and  Anderson  tied  the  score  with  a  homer  in  the 
fifth.  However,  these  efforts  proved  to  no  avail  except  to  prevent  a  shut-out,  as  Army, 
in  a  truly  lucky  seventh  inning,  salted  the  game  away  with  four  runs — two  homers  and 
two  triples. 

Although  no  N  stars  materialized,  still  the  '37  season  may  be  considered  as  the  most 
successful  of  the  past  few  years  both  in  games  won,  and  in  the  development  of  players 
for  future  campaigns.  With  Max  Bishop,  whom  we  all  remember  as  that  truly  great

looks  well  for  a  big  '38  season.  Captain 
Bill  Ingram  is  in  fine  shape,  and  is  ready 
for  his  best  season.  The  pitching  situation 
is  the  most  promising  in  many  years.  We 
lost  very  little  by  graduation,  and  kept 
veterans  Eliot  and  Bruckel  for  the  ensuing

WHEN  word  came  that  the  fleets  from  Columbia,  Princeton,  Syra- 
cuse, Cornell,  Harvard,  and  Pennsylvania — to  say  nothing  of  the 
powerful  Poughkeepsie  Armada — were  all  eager  to  contest  Navy's 
supremacy  upon  the  water,  a  crippled  crew  squad  gathered  in  Hubbard 
Boat  House  to  prepare  an  answer  to  all  challenges.  "Crippled"  is  the 
correct  adjective,  as  four  varsity,  four  junior  varsity,  and  two  Plebe 
oarsmen  of  the  1936  campaign  were  lost  for  reasons  ranging  from  gradu- 
ation to  appendicitis. 

Despite  the  dreary  outlook,  Navy  went  to  work  in  a  serious  manner. 
January  and  February  passed  swiftly  in  shake-down  cruises  and  battle 
practices  as  the  Severn  fleet  shoved  their  prows  through  many  miles  in 
snow  and  rain,  in  wind  and  fog.  Crew-Admiral  Buck  Walsh  inaugurated

his  game  of  checkers  and  for  several  weeks 
boats  were  continually  coming  alongside 
each  other  and  exchanging  men  in  efforts 
to  find  the  most  efficient  combination. 

Adventures  to  break  the  monotony  of 
regular  practices  were  not  lacking.  Per- 
haps the  most  memorable  was  the  late 
winter  sinking  of  the  varsity  shell.  On 
this  occasion  the  fleet,  on  returning  from 
the  Fisherman's  Hut  Base,  on  Round  Bay, 
was  struck  by  a  heavy  easterly  squall. 
After  having  been  forced  ashore  once  to 
unload  water,  the  Varsity  foundered  in 
the  heavy  seas  to  windward  of  the  railroad 
bridge.  The  quick-thinking  Jayvee  boat, 
which  had  stayed  afloat  in  the  small  but 
helpful  lee  of  the  varsity,  towed  their 
half-frozen  comrades  two  hundred  yards 
to  the  beach. 

Pre-season  work  drew  near  a  close 
without  the  perfect  combination  having 
been  hit  upon.  Then,  on  Tuesday  before 
the  Columbia  invasion,  a  starboard- 
stroked  varsity  with  Schultz,  Erickson, 
Bullard,  Kittler,  Whiteside,  Yeates,  Spear, 
Schumacher,  and  Rowe,  sitting  from  bow 
aft  to  Coxswain,  bowled  over  a  half  mile 
with  a  well  spaced  thirty-four.  And  a 
port  stroked  Jayvee  with  Knapp,  Walker, 
Charlie  Brown,  Swift,  Suddath,  Red 
Brown,  Almgren,  Williams,  and  Hooper, 
sitting  from  Coxswain  forward  stroked 
right  along  with  them.  A  powerful  Plebe 
crew  came  in  a  close  third.  A  puzzled 
coach  considered  the  afternoon's  offerings. 

The  Season — On  xo  April,  a  highly 
heralded  Columbia  fleet  engaged  Navy  in 
home  waters.  The  nervous  Midshipmen 
sent  out  their  light  cruiser  and  despatched 
the   enemy   Freshmen   by   three   lengths.

The  heavy  cruiser  contest  was  won  by  the  Navy  Jay vees  who  outranged 
Columbia  six  lengths.  Then  opposing  battleships  met  and  the  Columbia 
varsity  was  sunk  five  and  a  half  lengths  astern. 

On  6  May,  Navy  carried  the  fight  into  enemy  territory,  and  contested 
Princeton  and  Syracuse  on  Lake  Carnegie.  The  Navy  fleet,  which  had 
left  its  light  forces  at  home,  completely  routed  enemy  heavy  cruisers  and 
battleships.  Two  weeks  later  Navy  met  and  won  from  Cornell  in  all 
three  races.  Conditions  were  excellent  for  these  races  and  the  varsity 
came  within  four  seconds  of  breaking  the  old  Severn  River  course  record. 

The  battle  of  Schuylkill  River  took  place  on  iq  May.  The  Navy 
Plebes  and  the  Jayvees  met  and  defeated  their  respected  opponents  quite 
handily.  In  the  afternoon's  finale,  the  Pennsylvania  Crew,  which  kept  the 
lead  until  within  a  quarter-mile  of  the  finish,  came  in  third.  Navy  won 
by  sinking  a  smooth-stroking  Harvard  shell  a  scant  third  of  a  length. 
As  a  result  of  this  victory  Navy  was  awarded  the  Adam's  Cup  for  the 
second  consecutive  year. 

June  Week,  with  its  devastating  effects  to  a  crew  in  training  for  the 
National  Regatta  at  Poughkeepsie,  arrived  and  departed,  leaving  nothing 
more  serious  in  its  wake  than  a  few  strained  heart  strings.  On  10  June, 
the  Navy  shoved  off  for  its  advanced  base  on  the  Hudson.  Twelve  days 
of  rowing,  hiking,  eating,  sleeping,  and  more  rowing  followed  at  Camp 
Winston  Churchill  before  the  big  battle. 

The  midshipmen's  hitherto  undefeated  light  cruiser  had  scarcely  come 
upon  the  range  when  a  hit  put  her  port  engines  out  of  service.  The

forty  seconds  were  costly.  Washington,  California,  Cornell,  and  Syra- 
cuse, nosed  out  the  Plebes  who,  after  a  game  recovery,  came  in  ahead 
of  Columbia.  The  previously  unscathed  heavy  cruiser  of  the  Navy  cut 
thirty  seconds  off  of  the  fourteen  year  old  three  mile  record  at  Pough- 
keepsie  and  still  came  in  three  and  a  half  lengths  behind  Washington 
who  defeated  Cornell  by  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  mile. 

The  varsity  crews  fought  their  four  mile  engagement  in  very  rough 
water.  Washington  was  again  victorious,  breaking  the  old  course  record 
by  eight  seconds,  and  beating  Navy  by  twelve  seconds.  Following  these 
two  leaders,  there  came  in  succession  Cornell,  Syracuse,  California, 
Columbia,  and  Wisconsin. 

Thus  ended  a  happy  if  not  one  hundred  per  cent  successful  season. 
The  enemy  fleets  were  completely  sunk  except  for  the  formidable  Pough- 
keepsie  Armada,  and  the  results  of  this  last  engagement  were  anything 
but  disappointing.  The  oarsmen  then  split  up  as  do  all  Navy  Poughkeepsie 
crew  squads.  Two  of  them  went  to  the  fleet  as  ensigns;  part  returned  to 
finish  their  Second  Class  Summer  at  the  Academy;  and  the  rest  went  to 
Montreal  where  they  boarded  the  "ANSONIA"  and  sailed  for  Europe 
to  join  the  Practice  Squadron. 

The  1938  Season  presents  us  with  a  slightly  revised  first  boat  and 
a  promise  for  the  greatest  crew  Navy  has  ever  sent  out  in  competition. 
Since  its  Plebe  Summer,  the  class  of  Thirty-eight  was  marked  as  the  one 
to  cop  the  Poughkeepsie  Regatta,  and  if  pre-season  appearance,  hopes, 
and  support  mean  anything,  the  crew  representing  that  class  will  meet 
the  fondest  expectations.

LACROSSE  1937 

rT~1HE  1937  Navy  Lacrosse  team  opened  the  season  with  an  imposing 
J-  array  of  veterans  on  hand.  Nat  James,  all-American  goalie,  Archie 
Souchek,  Whitey  Mehlig,  Captain  Beagle  Smith,  Dick  Bowers,  and 
Steve  Mann  were  back,  and  Coach  Dinty  Moore  found  a  wealth  of 
material  on  deck  from  which  to  select  the  remainder  of  the  team.  The 
eight-game  schedule  was  a  difficult  one  comprising  the  major  teams 
of  the  East,  but  the  squad  turned  to  with  a  will  and  exhibited  a 
sterling  brand  of  play  throughout  the  season. 

Navy  started  its  season  against  a  scrappy  but  ineffective  Dartmouth 
team  and  defeated  them  6-z.  The  game  was  loosely  played  with  both 
teams  making  the  usual  early-season  mistakes.  Navy  displayed  tre- 
mendous power  but  was  unable  to  capitalize  on  it  because  of  the  lack 
of  polish  and  teamwork. 

A  week  of  intensive  training  produced  a  much  improved  Navy  team 
that  had  little  trouble  downing  Harvard  18-1.  Bowers  and  Rindskopf 
led  the  Blue  and  Gold  onslaught  with  four  goals  apiece.  With  its 
attack     still     functioning    perfectly, 
Navy  all   but   swept   a   strong  Yale 
team  off  the  field  the  following  week- 
end  by   a   top-heavy   score   of   13-1. 
Dick  Bowers,  playing  a  bang-up  game 
from   his   close-attack   position,    led 
the  scoring  with  three  goals. 

Navy's  hopes  of  making  a  clean 
sweep  a'gainst  the  Big  Three  were 
dashed  when  a  hard-driving  Prince-

ton  club  defeated  the  team  5-4 
the  succeeding  Saturday.  The  de- 
feat by  the  Tigers  was  but  the 
beginning  of  Navy's  tumbles. 
Mount  Washington's  National 
Championship  aggregation  was 
next  on  the  schedule  and  de- 
parted unscathed;  in  the  best 
played  game  of  the  season,  Navy 
finally  yielded  yt.  After  a  scoreless  first  quar- 
ter, Frank  Case  knifed  through  for  Navy's  first 
score  ten  seconds  after  the  second  period 
opened.  Guild  retaliated  in  kind  for  the 
Mount  shortly  thereafter.  The  score  remained 
knotted  until  the  middle  of  the  third  quarter 
when  Rindskopf  shot  a  quick  pass  to  Kelly 
who  pocketed  the  ball  to  put  Navy  in  the 
lead  again.  Not  to  be  outdone,  Guild  evened 
the  thing  up  with  another  scoring  shot  at  the 
opening  of  the  final  chucker,  and  his  teammate, 
Turnbull,  decided  the  game  with  Mount  Wash- 
ington's third  goal  ten  seconds  before  the 
game  ended. 

The  8th  of  May,  Syracuse  proved  that  it 
was  no  match  for  our  power  and  speed  by 
losing  15-3   at  Syracuse.  The  Navy  men  per-

formed  in  superb  style  and  won  the  approbation  of  the  large  crowd  that  attended. 
Miller  led  the  Navy  scores  with  a  total  of  four  goals,  closely  followed  by  Bowers 
and  Rindskopf  with  three  apiece.  This  return  to  normalcy  was  short-lived,  however, 
for  undefeated  Maryland  kept  its  record  clean  after  a  nip-and-tuck  encounter  with 
Navy  in  Annapolis.  Nat  James,  Navy,  and  Jack  Kelly,  Maryland,  as  opposing 
goalies,  were  the  stars  of  the  game,  time  and  again  thwarting  perfect  scoring  at- 
tempts. At  the  end  of  the  game,  the  Terps  led  by  a  score  of  2.-1. 

The  season  was  brought  to  a  close  with  the  annual  game  with  Army,  which  was 
played  before  a  June  Week  crowd  of  10,000.  Navy  jumped  into  a  two-goal  lead  at 
the  very  start  when  Dick  Bowers  and  Beagle  Smith  hit  the  cords  within  thirty 
seconds  of  each  other.  Truxton,  a  former  Midshipman,  bit  the  hand  that  used  to 
feed  him  by  flipping  one  past  Goalie  Nat  James  five  minutes  later.  The  second  period 
produced  four  more  scores,  equally  divided  between  the  teams,  with  Bowers  and 
Rindskopf  doing  the  honors  for  Navy.  The  half  ended  with  Navy  out  in  front  by  4-3 . 
The  third  period  was  a  battle  of  defenses  in  which  one  lone  score  was  collected  for 
Army  by  Scott.  With  five  minutes  to  play,  Bowers  broke  through  with  a  back-hand 
shot,  his  third  goal  of  the  day,  and  Navy  led  5-4.  Posey  took  charge  of  Army's 
attack  and  led  an  onslaught  on  the  Navy  goal,  first  to  tie  the  score,  and  then  just

before   the   final   whistle,    to    count    the 
deciding  tally. 

The  season  was  productive  of  some  re- 
markably fine  play  on  the  part  of  the  Mid- 
shipmen, with  Bowers,  Captain-elect  Case, 
Mann,  Greene,  and  Rindskopf  turning  in 
stellar  performances.  Coach  Moore,  too, 
deserves  a  word  of  praise  for  an  excellent 
job  of  molding  an  outstanding  team,  and 
in  so  doing,  arousing  among  the  midship- 
men and  Navy  fans,  a  genuine  and  popular 
interest  in  this  scrappy  Maryland  game. 
This  same  combination  of  Coach  and 
Thirty-eighters,  supported  by  a  host  of 
under-class  stars,  is,  at  the  time  of  this 
printing,  already  well  under  way  to  up- 
holding Dinty's  fine  two-year  record.

Fike  took  the  javelin  with  a  new  meet  record.  Bob  Cutts  in  the  440  staged  a  driving  spurt 
that  brought  him  from  last  to  second  place  after  a  slow  start.  Jack  Dalton  lost  his  first 
race  of  two  years  to  Clifford  in  the  100,  only  to  turn  and  win  the  1.2.0  from  him  by  four 
yards,  establishing  a  new  meet  record  of  2.1.6  seconds;  and  Newton  scored  another  victory 
in  the  low  hurdles  as  did  Baughman  in  the  high  jump. 

May  i2_nd  Navy  crushed  Maryland,  scoring  99-2.7,  taking  every  first,  and  making  a 
clean  sweep  in  six  of  the  fourteen  events.  Guckeyson  of  Maryland  bested  Fike  in  the 

shot  only  to  lose  to  him  in  the  discus.  Weymouth  and  Bolam 
tied  in  the  two  mile  and  were  so  far  in  the  lead  that  they  had 
to  slow  up  in  the  last  quarter.  Navy's  dominance  in  the  track 
events  was  decisive  and  a  striking  contrast  to  the  previous 
meet  with  Notre  Dame. 

At  last,  May  Z9th,  Navy  won  the  most  brilliant  victory  of 
many  years  over  Army  68-58,  curiously  enough,  the  score  being

exactly  that  predicted  by  Coach  Thomson.  Harby  won  a  fine 
race  in  the  mile  in  his  best  time  of  the  year.  Jack  Dalton  won 
both  the  440  and  zzo.  Scofield  and  Woodruff  came  through 
with  first  and  third  in  the  880.  Newton  and  Howell  scored  in  a 
thrilling  race  in  the  zzo  lows. 

With  the  score  at  54-54,  Navy  men  were  faced  with  certain 
defeat  unless  they  scored  first  and  second  in  the  discus  and  at 
least  second  and  third  in  the  broad  jump.  Whereupon,  Lynch 
heaved  out  a  throw  of  145  feet  <^/%  inches,  and  Fike  copped 
the  second  with  a  try  two  feet  short  of  this — new  tally,  Navy 
6z — four  points  desperately  needed  for  victory!  At  this  junc- 
ture Army's  Captain  Klocko  leaped  the  best  jump  of  his  life, 
zz  feet  6  inches.  Ade  Rich  followed  with  a  mark  4  inches  short; 
then  Neal,  hero  of  the  crucial  moment,  having  made  the  first 
jump  in  his  life  over  zi  feet  only  the  week  before,  uncorked  a 
prodigious  effort  and  outdistanced  even  Klocko  at  zz  feet  8 
inches.  Thus  N  stars  rewarded  19  track  men  for  a  splendid 
climax  to  the  season ! 

Coach  Thomson  and  his  men  have  tackled  a  staggering 
schedule  for  1938.  The  team  approaches  each  encounter  with 
a  determination  which  cannot  go  unrewarded.  With  all  of  his 
stars  of  last  year  still  wearing  the  blue,  and  each  much  im- 
proved and  "rarin'  to  go,"  Tommy's  chances  for  an  undefeated 
season  appear  very  bright  at  this  printing.  Captain  Jack  Dalton 
has  promised  us  another  year  of  wins,  with  Morgan  and 
Chabot  running  right  on  his  heels.  Lynch  and  Fike  are  out  for 
new  records  in  the  weights.  McCrory,  Newton,  Cutts,  and 
Bolam  are  ready  for  a  fitting  climax  to  bright  track  careers. 
Navy  serves  warning  to  her  opponents.  As  far  as  Army  is  con- 
cerned— well,  this  June  Week  will  be  the  happiest  in  years.

SOCCER 


McManus 


AFTER  two  weeks  of  practice  the  Soccer  squad  took  on  one  of  the 
-  most  powerful  teams  in  the  East,  and  suffered  the  first  of  its  two 
defeats.  The  game  was  played  with  Haverford  who  presented  a  well 
balanced  and  aggressive  team.  The  visitors  sank  shots  in  the  first  and 
fourth  periods.  Navy  lacked  the  coordination  and  punch  to  put  across  a 
goal.  Haines  at  goal  started  a  brilliant  season  of  saves  that  effectively 
cut  into  the  number  of  our  opponents  tallies. 

A  much-improved  squad  took  the  field  for  Navy  the  next  week  at 
(against)  Yale.  New  Haven  treated  the  squad  to  heavy  rain  during  most 
of  the  game,  but  the  team  had  just  had  three  days  of  wet  weather  prac- 
tice, and  was  ready  to  go.  They  made  a  fast  start,  and  Parker  sank  one  in 
the  first  five  minutes.  There  was  no  scoring  for  the  rest  of  the  half  as  the 
ball  was  becoming  increasingly  hard  to  handle.  A  good  chance  to  score 
was  missed  early  in  the  second  when  a  free  kick  was  awarded  and  the  try 
failed.  In  the  last  quarter  the  ball  got  past  the  fulls,  and  Albert  came  in 
from  the  wing,  colliding  with  the  goalie  as  he  kicked  the  ball,  but  the 
ball  rolled  in  and  the  final  score  was  two  to  nothing.  The  team  had 
started  to  click  on  the  offense,  showing  good  teamwork  between  the 
halves  and  the  forwards. 

The  following  Saturday  Lafayette  College  was  taken  into  camp  in  a 
scoring  spree.  The  play  was  in  their  territory  practically  the  whole 
game,  and  Navy  scored  in  every  period  except  the  third.  The  Lafayette 
defense  tightened  in  the  last  half,  allowing  only  one  goal.  Kilpatrick 


454 


turned  in  a  remarkable  performance  with  three  goals  to  his  credit.  The 
final  score  was  six  to  nothing.  The  Gettysburg  game  was  very  closely 
contested.  Navy  played  too  conservative  a  game  and  the  offense  func- 
tioned badly.  Defense  was  good,  however,  and  the  visitors  didn't  get  a 
shot  at  the  Navy  goal  in  the  first  half.  The  feature  of  the  game  was  the 
brilliant  play  of  Captain  Kelley,  who  seemed  to  be  in  every  scrimmage 
and  who  sank  a  sensational  shot  from  his  halfback  position.  Navy  won 
two  to  one. 

The  squad  looked  forward  with  high  hopes  to  their  next  game  with 
the  perennial  champions — Penn  State,  but  the  visitors  lived  up  to  their 
reputation  and  took  the  game  with  a  score  of  three  to  nothing,  their 
first  goal  coming  late  in  the  second  period  as  the  strong  starting  defense 
of  Navy  weakened. 

The  final  game  of  the  season  was  played  on  a  cold  afternoon  in  late 
November.  The  team  met  unexpectedly  strong  opposition  in  Lehigh. 
Navy  was  off  form  but  managed  to  keep  the  play  in  the  enemy's  territory 
most  of  the  time,  and  won  by  the  scant  margin  of  one  point,  two  to  one. 
Lehigh's  goal  came  late  in  the  last  period  when  the  two  teams  were 
playing  quite  evenly. 

Throughout  the  season  Haines,  Kelley,  and  McManus  played  superla- 
tive soccer,  one  keeping  the  ball  out  of  our  own  goal,  and  the  other 
keeping  it  in  the  opponents  end  of  the  field.  But  the  '37  team,  as  have 
so  many  Navy  soccer  teams  of  the  past,  owed  much  to  the  coaching 
of  Tommy  Taylor.  One  of  the  outstanding  authorities  on  the  game  as 
played  in  this  country,  Tommy  combines  a  spirit  of  genial  good  fellow- 
ship with  his  technical  advice  to  thoroughly  inspire  all  his  students  of 
the  game.  Kilpatrick's  steady  playing  was  recognized  by  his  team  mates 
in  their  electing  him  captain  for  the  '38  season,  and  should  be  instru- 
mental to  Coach  Taylor  in  building  a  winning  team.

BOXING 


A  TEAM  of  exceptional  all-around  strength 
represented  Navy  in  the  ring  for  the  '38 
season.  Strong  in  every  weight,  the  Webbmen 
provided  Navy  rooters  with  much  to  cheer 
about.  Unfortunately,  the  .500  average  com- 
piled tells  little  of  the  courage  and  skill  shown 
both  in  winning  and  losing.  First  and  second 
classmen  dominated  all  weights.  Luby,  Giffen, 
Daunis,  and  Dierman  represented  '38,  while 
Fairfax,  Benham,  Shepherd,  Barbee,  and  Wal- 
lace, carried  the  colors  for  '39.  Bergner  and 
Wagenhals  were  the  only  youngsters  to  see 
action. 

In  the  opening  meet  of  the  season,  a  rugged 
Cornell  team  was  turned  back  6-i.  In  the  lighter 
weights,  Daunis  and  Dierman  won  clean-cut 
decisions,  but  Barbee  found  his  man  to  be  too 
powerful.  Captain  Luby  decisioned  a  tough 
opponent,  and  Fairfax  and  Benham  took  their 
bouts  by  technical  knock-outs.  Skipper  Giffen 
defeated  a  puzzling  fighter,  but  a  bleeding  nose 
forced  Bergner  to  drop  the  heavyweight  bout. 

Western  Maryland  found  the  Blue  and  Gold 
rolling  into  high.  Dierman  fought  a  fast  draw 
with  his  opponent  to  give  the  Terrors  their 
only  score  of  the  evening.  Giffen,  Fairfax,  and 
Benham  won  by  K.  O.'s,  while  Daunis,  Luby, 
Shepherd,  and  Bergner  took  well-earned  de- 
cisions to  settle  the  final  score  at  -yj4  to  }4- 

Undefeated  Virginia  extended  its  record  at 
Navy's  expense  by  a  score  of  4^2  to  33/2-  Close, 
hard-fought  bouts  marked  the  meet.  Shepherd 
and  Bergner  won  decisions,  Benham  added 
another  K.  O.  to  his  record,  and  Luby  earned  a 
draw,  for  Navy's  points.  Fairfax  and  Wallace 
fought  gamely  against  Harlow  and  Schmidt, 
but  were  outpointed  in  thrilling  bouts  by  these 
National  Intercollegiate  Champions  from  Vir-

ginia.  Daunis  and  Dierman  dropped  fast 
matches  which  cast  no  reflections  on  their 
fighting  abilities. 

Navy  traveled  to  Syracuse  to  oppose  an  array 
of  champions,  and  returned  on  the  short  end 
of  a  5-3  score.  The  meet  was  almost  a  duplicate 
of  the  Virginia  fracas,  close  judging  being  the 
order  of  the  evening.  Daunis  and  Barbee  started 
well  by  taking  decisions.  Benham  and  Bergner 
were  held  to  draws,  giving  Navy  its  3  points. 
Dierman,  Fairfax,  and  Wallace  fought  well 
against  clever  men,  only  to  drop  their  bouts. 
Wagenhals,  substituting  for  injured  Captain 
Luby,  unfortunately  drew  an  intercollegiate 
champ  in  his  first  fight,  and  in  spite  of  a  stub- 
born defense  was  unable  to  hold  him  in  check.

Captain  Ed  Luby  was  unbeaten  during  the  year,  and  rang  down  the  curtain  on  a  brilliant 
three  year  career  in  intercollegiate  boxing  in  which  he  was  undefeated  in  his  class.  Benham  also 
compiled  a  fine  record  which  credited  him  with  three  wins  by  knockout  and  one  draw. 

Throughout  the  season  the  team  demonstrated  those  qualities  of  sportsmanship  and  skill 
which  have  marked  Spike  Webb's  fighters  in  the  past  and  have  enabled  his  teams  to  build  up 
one  of  the  outstanding  records  in  the  history  of  collegiate  boxing.  Navy  supporters  knew  that 
win,  lose,  or  draw,  the  boys  had  fought  and  fought  well. 

With  five  regulars  from  this  year's  team  remaining  and  an  undefeated  plebe  squad  ready  for 
their  varsity  debut,  Spike's  record  holds  promise  of  reaching  new  heights  in  1939.

WRESTLING 


NAVY'S  1938  wrestling  season,  although  not  so  successful  from  the  standpoint 
of  meets  won,  was  highly  successful  from  that  of  the  development  of  material 
for  the  next  year.  Led  by  Captain  Heber  "Butch"  Player,  the  team  defeated 
Harvard,  Penn,  and  North  Carolina,  and  lost  to  V.  M.  I.,  Penn  State,  Lehigh,  and 
Indiana.  V.  M.  I.  was  the  first  opponent  and  the  visitors,  led  by  Cadet  Steidtmann, 
took  Navy  by  a  score  of  10Y2  to  93^2-  Captain  Player  led  the  Navy  forces  by  throwing 
the  V.  M.  I.  heavy  in  z:o8.  The  following  week  Navy  had  her  revenge  at  the  expense 
of  North  Carolina,  winning  zi  to  11.  Player  was  again  the  star,  throwing  his  man 
this  time  in  0:37.  The  tide  again  turned  with  the  arrival  of  the  strong  Lehigh  squad, 
the  visitors  coming  out  on  top  to  the  tune  of  T-^/i  to  4^.  Navy  point  winners  were 
Leigh,  135  pounds,  who  earned  a  decision,  and  Kleiss,  145,  who  drew.  The  Hoosiers

of  Indiana  invaded  the  Severn  Country  the  next  week  and  again 
Navy  came  out  on  the  shorter  end  of  a  u  to  6  deal.  Al  Minvielle 
at  165  and  Dick  Mason  at  155  each  won  decisions  for  Navy's 
points.  But  the  sun  shone  on  19  February  and  Navy  downed 
the  Crimson  of  Harvard  to  a  10  to  8  final.  Charlie  Chandler 
won  Navy's  only  fall,  while  Leigh,  Kleiss,  Mason,  Minvielle, 
and  Player  got  decisions.  The  following  Saturday,  in  Phila- 
delphia, Navy  won  from  Penn  by  a  lopsided  score.  Five  bouts 
went  Navy's  way,  and  a  sixth,  in  the  12.6  pound  class,  was 
declared  a  draw.  Leigh,  Kleiss,  Minvielle,  and  Jarvis  got  falls, 
while  Spector  took  a  decision.  In  their  last  meet,  the  Navy 
squad  tackled  the  strong  Nittany  Lions  of  Penn  State,  and  were 
vanquished  by  a  score  of  17  to  9.  Captain  Player  fittingly  won 
his  last  bout  for  Navy,  and  Chuck  Leigh  and  Al  Minvielle  also 
came  through  to  add  points  to  the  Navy  side  of  the  score  board.

SWIMMING 


TTROM  the  standpoint  of  meets  won  Navy's  swimming  season  of 
-■-  1938  was  not  particularly  successful.  Navy  beat  Pennsylvania  and 
lost  to  the  other  six  members  of  the  Eastern  Intercollegiate  League. 
From  the  viewpoint  of  a  spirited  team,  the  season  was  prosperous. 
In  every  event  the  swimmers  were  better  than  in  the  previous  season 
and  several  long  standing  records  fell. 

The  season  opened  with  a  44  to  31  victory  over  Pennsylvania.  Four 
Naval  Academy  records  fell.  Youngster  Harvey  Robinson  demolished 
two  records  swimming  the  150  yard  backstroke  in  1:46.4,  and  the 
z2_o  yard  free  style  in  -l:±i.6.  Green,  Kercheval,  and  Michel  set  a  new

mark  of  3:06.8  in  the  300  yard  medley  relay.  Bill  Holt  shattered  the 
fourth  record  with  a  5  :14.x  in  the  440. 

The  following  week  Columbia  dunked  Navy  45  to  30  in  a  lively 
match.  Again  the  440  yard  record  was  smashed,  this  time  by  Charles 
Norris  with  a  5  :iz.^.  The  next  three  meets  were  with  the  "Big  Three" 
—Princeton,  Harvard,  and  Yale.  The  Tigers  won  52.  to  2.5.  Harvard 
triumphed  by  a  score  of  55  to  xo.  Yale  also  won  51  to  2.4. 

The  last  meet  of  the  year,  with  Dartmouth,  ended — Dartmouth  47, 
Navy  x8.  In  this  meet,  Captain  Green  came  through  in  a  magnificent 
contest  to  touch  out  Ed  White  of  Dartmouth  and  in  so  doing  set  a  new 
Naval  Academy  record  of  2.:2.5-4  in  the  2.00  yard  breaststroke. 

Ed  Gibson  was  the  outstanding  diver  on  the  team  and  lost  only  to 
the  intercollegiate  champion,  Cranston  of  Princeton.  Don  Snyder, 
diving  his  third  year  on  the  varsity,  was  number  two.

GYMNASIUM 


IV  /TARKED  by  notable  individual  successes,  especially  in  the  rings 
J-'-*-  and  the  rope,  the  1938  Gym  season  closed  with  four  wins  and 
two  losses.  In  the  first  meet  of  the  year,  Navy  overwhelmed  Penn 
State  by  the  decisive  score  of  45  x/i  to  83^,  with  Navy  taking  firsts  in 
every  event  except  the  parallel  bars,  and  seconds  in  five  events.  In 
winning  the  rings,  Worthington  fell  to  the  mat  and  fractured  his 
shoulder.  This  accident  cost  the  team  a  certain  winner  in  this  event, 
for  in  spite  of  prodigious  efforts,  he  was  unable  to  complete  in  subse- 
quent meets.  Next  the  Tars  met  Temple  at  Philadelphia,  only  to  be 
repulsed  38-16.  Navy  won  its  usual  first  two  places  on  the  rope,  and  a 
first  on  the  rings  was  credited  to  Butler,  who  did  an  admirable  job  of 
filling  Worthington 's  shoes.  On  the  following  day  the  Navy  team 
staged  a  comeback  by  crushing  the  M.  I.  T.  50  to  4,  allowing  the 
Engineers  only  one  second  and  one  third.  Next,  Navy  defeated  the 
invading  Green  of  Dartmouth  43  to  n,  again  taking  every  first  place. 
Then,  with  only  a  week  left  before  the  Intercollegiates,  Navy  overcame 
Princeton  by  the  same  score  of  43  to 
11  in  a  meet  that  was  marked  by 
Butler's  and  Walker's  decisive  defeat 
of  the  Tiger's  previously  undefeated 
Snyder  on  the  rings,  and  by  Captain 
DeCamp's  establishment  of  a  new 
Naval  Academy  record  for  the  rope 
climb  of  exactly  four  seconds.  As  a 
climax  to  the  season  Navy  was  host 
to  the  Intercollegiates.  In  conjunction

with  the  League  finals,  the  Army-Navy  dual 
meet  was  held,  with  Navy  losing  to  Army  for 
the  fiist  time  by  the  close  score  of  2.9-2.5 . 
However,  this  disappointment  was  somewhat 
overcome  by  Navy's  clean  sweep  of  the  rope 
climb  and  by  the  winning  of  intercollegiate 
championships  by  DeCamp  on  the  rope  and  by 
Butler  on  the  rings,  runner-up  places  by  Miller 
on  the  horse  and  Ellison  on  the  rope,  third 
places  by  Raymer  on  the  horizontal  bar,  Rich- 
ardson in  tumbling,  and  Sawyer  on  the  rope, 
and  a  fourth  by  Sharer  on  the  horse. 

Within  the  past  few  years,  Gym  has  as- 
sumed the  importance  of  a  major  Navy  sport, 
particularly  so  in  her  Army  and  Intercollegiate 
battles.  We  would  not  be  far  wrong  in  attribut- 
ing this  phenomenal  rise  in  its  entirety  to  the 
work  of  Coach  Mang,  by  whose  patient  work 
have  been  produced  the  teams  so  well  worthy 
of  the  spotlight.

CROSS  COUNTRY 

THE  1937  cross  country  season  was  a  steady  progression  from  the 
defeat  by  the  world-beating  North  Carolina  squad  in  the  first  meet 
to  the  astounding  triumph  over  Army,  New  York  University,  and 
Columbia  in  the  last.  Navy  won  four  and  lost  two  races,  an  excellent 
showing  in  the  stiff  competition  faced. 

The  loss  of  the  first  meet  only  set  the  team  to  working  harder  but  the 
next  Friday's  contest  with  Princeton  saw  Nassau's  fleet  Rosengarten 
pacing  our  Barney  Oldfield  across  the  line.  The  2.6-2.9  score  was  close 
but  still  in  favor  of  the  invaders. 

The  next  Saturday  eleven  .Navy  men  start- 
ed against  Duke.  Jack  Harby  led  them  all 
home  ahead  of  the  first  "Blue  Devil."  We 
had  hit  our  stride ! 

At  Van  Courtlandt  Park,  New  York,  Cecil 
Bolam,  thinking  only  of  his  girl  and  the 
West  Point  jersey  awaiting  him  at  the  finish, 
ran  the  best  race  of  his  career  to  cover  the 
five  cold,  muddy  miles  in  the  excellent  time 
of  zi  :oi.8,  leaving  z8  of  the  East's  outstand- 
ing distance  men  his  wake.  Only  Army's 
justly  famed  Schellman  came  in  ahead  of  our 
next  five.  Weymouth  and  "Red"  Mason, 
running  their  last  race,  were  among  the 
scorers  in  this  sweeping  victory.  N.  Y.  U. 
and  Columbia  trailed  Army  in  that  order.

GOLF  1937 


AGAINST  some  of  the  most  formidable 
•^  *-  golfing  contingents  in  the  East,  Navy's 
young  team  swung  through  to  three  vic- 
tories and  four  defeats. 

The  opening  match  played  with  a  picked 
team  of  officers  resulted  in  a  17-10  victory 
for  the  midshipmen.  The  following  week, 
Princeton's  veteran  team  proved  too  strong 
and  won  j-i..  Navy's  captain,  Billy  Brown, 
carded  a  78  to  defeat  Princeton's  number  one 
man,  but  a  well-balanced  Tiger  squad  pro- 
vided the  winning  margin.  Two  meets,  one 
at  home  and  one  away,  were  played  with  the  undefeated  Southern 
Champions,  the  University  of  Virginia.  The  Cavaliers  took  both  contests 
easily.  But  the  midshipmen  began  to  hit  their  stride  when  they  encoun- 
tered Georgetown,  runner-up  in  the  Eastern  Conference  race.  This  match 
was  decided  on  the  eighteenth  hole  of  the  last  foursome,  and  resulted 
in  a  5-4  defeat  for  Navy.  But  the  boys  came  back  to  finish  the  season 
with  two  decisive  7-2.  victories  over  Washington  and  Jefferson  and  the 
University  of  Delaware.  The  team's  average  for  the  two  matches  was  79, 
an  average  which  would  have  taken  the  Princeton,  Virginia,  and  George- 
town matches.  In  the  Washington  and  Jefferson  match,  States  Mead  and 
Larry  Geis  turned  in  77's  while  Jack  Pye  carded  a  78. 

Graduation  takes  Mead,  Brown,  Cunningham,  and  Robertson,  leaving 
only  Geis  and  Pye  as  the  nucleus  for  Coach  "Bob"  Williams'  '38  team.

FENCING 


npHE  1938  fencing  team  turned  out  to  be  the  most   successful  of 
■*-  recent  years.  This  team  met  and  defeated  eight  opponents  in  dual 
meets,  and  won  the  Pentagonal  meet  at  Princeton. 

In  the  first  meet  of  the  season  with  St.  Johns'  of  Brooklyn,  the 
sabre  team  won  7-2.  while  the  epee  men  were  winning  6-3.  But  the 
foils  team  didn't  get  well  under  way  until  the  second  meet,  against 
Hamilton,  in  which  contest  foil,  with  an  8  to  1  win,  started  Navy  to 
an  Z3  Yi  to  3  Y2  victory.  In  the  third  meet,  while  Yale  was  being  downed 
1 6-1 1,  occurred  the  most  exciting  bout  of  the  season  between  Shirley  of 
Navy,  and  Grasson  of  Yale.  Shirley  proved  his  mettle  against  this

intercollegiate  champion  and  won  5-4.  Cornell  was  taken  the  following 
week  17-10.  In  the  fifth  meet,  with  Columbia,  foil  and  epee  built  up  a 
14  to  4  lead,  and  sabre  boosted  it  by  two  points. 

Following  the  Columbia  meet,  Navy  journeyed  to  Princeton  to  win 
the  Pentagonal  three  weapon  championship,  and  the  foil  champion- 
ship. In  the  course  of  this  meet,  Navy  beat  Army  16  to  11  with  the 
Cadets  dropping  foil  4-5,  Epee  3-6,  and  Sabre  4-5,  to  provide  Navy  fans 
with  the  first  defeat  of  an  Army  Athletic  team  of  the  current  year.  De- 
Poix  won  three  foil  bouts,  Pat  Foley  had  three  wins  and  Surface  two 
in  Epee,  while  Rawie  starred  in  Sabre  with  three  victories  for  Navy. 

The  Pennsylvania  meet  gave  next  year's  hopefuls  a  chance  to  show 
their  stuff  and  Navy  won  2.3  to  4.  Rollins  College,  from  Florida,  stopped 
over  in  the  middle  of  the  next  week  to  lose  18  to  9.  The  last  official 
meet,  with  the  New  York  Fencers  Club,  gave  Navy  a  17  to  10  victory.

OUTDOOR  RIFLE  1937 

rT""1HE  chill,  late  afternoons  of  the  first  weeks  of  April  found  the  out- 
■*-  door  rifle  squad  hard  at  work.  Since  outdoor  rifle  is  no  longer  an 
Intercollegiate  sport  the  Naval  Academy  is  forced  to  turn  to  National 
Guard  and  Service  teams  for  competition.  And  in  these  teams  we  find 
shooting  well  worthy  of  the  name.  Much  work  is  required  to  build  a 
team  capable  of  representing  Naval  Academy  riflemen  at  their  best. 
Many  hours  are  spent  in  "holding  'em"  and  "squeezing  'em"  at  the  600 
yard  range,  in  repeated  runs  of  rapid  fire  at  shorter  ranges,  and  in  patient 

efforts  with  the  difficult  off-hand  position. 
The  1937  season  was  the  most  successful 
in  several  yeais  as  the  team  took  four  out  of 
five  of  the  matches.  Essex  Troop  of  New 
Jersey  was  the  first  victim.  Navy  lost  the 
next  match  to  the  7th  Regiment,  New  York 
National  Guard,  but  came  back  strong  to 
down  both  the  Philadelphia  Marines  and 
Quantico  Marines.  The  following  week  found 
Navy  defeating  71st  Regiment,  New  York- 
National  Guard,  by  the  excellent  score  of 
2_342.-ii54  fired  over  a  tricky  range  at  Peeks- 
kill,  New  York.  There  winds  fishtail  back  and 
forth  with  a  suddenness  which  taxes  the  tal- 
ents of  coaches  and  shooters  to  the  utmost. 


The  Firing  Line 


468 


INDOOR  RIFLE 


npHE  1938  season  proved  a  banner  one 
■*-  for  the  small  bore  rifle  squad.  Thirteen 
opponents  came  and  went  and  the  Navy 
record  remained  untarnished.  A  record  aver- 
age of  1407  was  hung  up  for  the  season,  the 
gallery  shoulder  to  shoulder  record  was 
toppled  with  a  141 6  fired  against  Maryland, 
and  the  top  score  of  the  season — a  i^zi. 
which  tied  the  old  record  for  the  telegraphic 
type  of  rifle  match — was  fired  against  the 
Cadets  of  VPI. 

Much  credit  for  this  splendid  record  goes 
to  the  coaches,  Lt.  Anderson,  Lt.  Thayer,  and  Lt.  Hood,  a  trio  of  Navy 
rifle  shooters  of  previous  years.  But  individual  honors  go  to  Kitch,  and 
Weiler,  both  of  the  graduating  class.  Kitch,  the  captain  of  the  team,  and 
for  three  years  ail-American,  carried  a  1.8^  average  for  the  entire  season. 
An  able  second  was  Weiler  with  a  z8o,  and  behind  these  two  was  the 
finest  aggregation  of  telling  Squeezers  seen  here  or  elsewhere  for  many 
a  year. 

At  this  printing,  the  Intercollegiates,  which  have  been  won  by  Navy 
five  out  of  the  past  nine  times,  are  yet  unfired,  but  with  such  excellent 
prospects,  the  chief  problem  rests  in  naming  which  of  the  many  to 
occupy  shooting  positions.

TENNIS  1937 


Ready 


NAVY  opened  its  1937  tennis  season  at  a  distinct  disadvantage,  for 
the  squad  boasted  but  one  letter  man.  The  fine  team  of  the  previous 
year  had  been  composed  almost  entirely  of  first  classmen,  and  as  a  result 
Coach  Gaudet  was  confronted  with  the  tremendous  task  of  molding  a 
winning  combination  from  a  small  and  inexperienced  group. 

Captain  Art  Grantham  in  the  number  one  position  was  Navy's  out- 
standing player  and  turned  in  a  remarkably  fine  record  against  the  best 
competition  that  the  East  had  to  offer.  Shields  Goodman  in  the  number 
two  slot  was  an  even  more  consistent  winner  and  combined  with  Gran- 
tham to  form  a  powerful  doubles  team.  Bass,  Moore,  Glennon,  Bill, 
Ready,  Harrington,  and  Haines  comprised  the  remainder  of  the  team 
and  performed  commendably  throughout  the  campaign. 

The  first  contest  of  the  season  was  played  against  a  strong  Yale  team 
that  won  out  7.-2..  Hope  ran  high  after  Georgetown  University  was  de- 
feated 6-3  on  the  following  Saturday,  but  dropped  to  a  low  ebb  as  we 
bowed  to  Harvard,  Columbia,  Virginia,  and  Pennsylvania  in  rapid  suc- 
cession. Finally,  this  string  of  defeats  was  broken  by  a  9-0  victory  over 
Saint  John's  of  Brooklyn.  The  University  of  North  Carolina  then  brought 
its  traditionally  strong  team  up  to  Annapolis  and  the  Southerners  left 
with  Navy  added  to  their  string  of  victims.  We  revived  long  enough  to 
take  Lafayette  College  7-x,  but  succumbed  to  Cornell  in  a  brilliant  meet 
which  might  well  have  been  Navy's  but  for  the  "breaks"  in  the  deciding 
doubles  match.  The  season  ended  with  a  trip  to  and  a  defeat  at  the  hands 
of  Princeton,  leaving  a  promising  squad  practically  intact  for  the  1938 
campaign.

THE  LUCKY  BAG 

IN  ancient  days  Norse  sagas  unfolded  the  adventure  of 
pagans  who  took  to  the  sea  in  long-oared  ships.  In  later 
days  "Yankee  efficiency"  has  conceived  Navy  Regulations, 
steel  ships,  and  men  who  toil  with  "gadgets,"  thus  dissi- 
pating the  romance  of  Viking  men  and  their  wild  legends. 
But  men  still  stand  out  to  the  sea  in  ships — grey  ships — . 
Of  them  the  Lucky  Bag  tells  its  tale. 

To  set  the  story  down  within  these  pages  is  a  baffling 
task.  The  "gubment"  did  not  intend  that  its  progeny  re- 
linquish the  interminable  assault  on  Nav  and  Steam  to 
indite  journals  of  themselves,  and  nursing  this  $15,000, 
500  page  fairy  tale  from  the  confusion  of  its  conception 
to  its  publication  is  a  "bearcat"  of  a  job. 

With  foresight,  the  class  sent  "Kingfish"  to  the  editor's 
chair.  He  survived!  Apparently,  he  never  "put  out";  but 
an  organization,  remarkable  for  its  disjointed  lack  of  co- 
ordination, promptly  wove  itself  about  him.  Nobody  knew 
much  what  to  do,  but  he  always  did  it.  Sometimes  he 
worked  like  hell  without  knowing  it.  Nevertheless,  the 
galley  was  usually  on  time;  the  book  went  to  press  as 
scheduled;  and  strange  enough,  here  it  is.

THE  LUCKY  BAG 

Maybe  it  was  taciturn  Kelly's  fault.  When  no  one  else 
worked,  indefatigable  Monroe  still  plugged  away.  In  fact, 
he  never  knocked  off.  Obie  Parker  told  the  story  in  pictures. 
This  is  largely  Obie's  book.  Hering  and  Dimmick  stooged 
faithfully.  The  rest  of  us  stooged  too,  but  not  faithfully. 
Commander  De  Lany  bridged  the  pitfalls  with  advice  and 
criticism. 

Probably  the  afternoons  most  encouraging  to  Editor  Al 
were  those  in  which  Bancroft  Hall  was  cleared  and  a  goodly 
number  of  the  radiator  squad  staff  members  turned  up  at  the 
office  suddenly  seized  with  zeal.  On  such  afternoons  the 
scramble  for  the  steel  make-up  ruler  was  a  thing  to  see. 

But  here's  the  pith  of  the  enigma  (Kingnsh  won't  see  it 
before  it  leaves  the  presses!):  With  a  Louisiana  patois  that 
murders  the  King's  English,  clever,  versatile,  exacting  A.  J. 
demanded  excellence,  saying,  "Dat  stuff  ain't  what  we  want 
— dey  can  take  it  back."  That  this  Lucky  Bag  has  been 
accurately  composed,  that  its  tale  has  been  enhanced  by  a 
professional  touch,  that  it  embodies  the  spirit  of  a  class 
that  does  good  work  because  there's  work  to  be  done,  and 
"dat  ain't  greasin'  nobody,"  may  be  ascribed  to  the  char- 
acter, wit,  and  skill  of  its  editor.

THE  LUCKY  BAG 

ONCE  upon  a  time  there  was  a  business  manager  who 
paid  all  bills  and  never  discouraged  the  display  of  lit- 
erary brilliance.  "It's  a  fairy  tale,"  said  the  editor-in-chief. 

"You'll  pay  for  that,"  replied  the  miser-in-chief! 

Enthroned  in  his  dingy  stronghold,  the  guardian  of  the 
purse  strings  dictated  with  relentless  severity  the  careful 
expenditure  of  his  even  more  carefully  accumulated  hoard. 
When  costs  dangerously  approached  receipts,  Mac's  pru- 
dence forbade  spending,  while  his  capable  administration 
immediately  set  about  extracting  more  advertising  to  defray 
the  impending  expenses.  Classic  is  the  tale  of  his  fury  upon 
receiving  the  bogus  bill  forged  by  the  "Kingfish:"  "What's 
the  engraving  running?"  "Have  you  got  that  estimate  from 
Phototype?"  comprised  the  tenets  of  a  harassed  business 
staff's  existence. 

As  remarkable  as  the  strict  thrift  enforced,  was  the  un- 
failing appearance  of  black  figures  on  a  ledger  threatened 
by  the  vagaries  of  a  whimsical  editor  and  the  begrudging 
patronage  of  a  recession-cowed  business  world.  When  a 
barrage  of  queries  brought  only  curt  but  courteous  refusals, 
still  the  advertising  staff  sold  more  advertising;  and,  when

THE  LUCKY  BAG 

"every  man  Jack"  had  been  stocked  with  Lucky  Bags  for 
his  mother,  his  congressman,  his  darling,  the  circulation 
staff  sold  him  still  another.  When  the  demoniacal  eye 
specialists  deprived  the  staff  of  its  under-paid,  over-worked, 
tireless  advertising  chief,  Mac  recruited  an  equally  adept 
Texan  bull  shooter.  Tempered  by  adversity,  the  sages  of 
our  "monies"  met  every  reversal  with  a  competent  foil. 

One  thorn  remains  but  ere  long  will  be  forgiven.  The 
business  staff's  sporadic  forays  on  the  editor's  office  were 
as  notorious  for  their  frequent  repetition  as  for  their  un- 
canny success  in  denuding  it  of  every  pen,  pencil,  glue  bottle, 
clip,  and  piece  of  paper  in  or  out  of  sight. 

Through  it  all  a  certain  cordiality  prevailed.  One  night  a 
member  of  the  editorial  staff,  not  finding  the  key  over  the 
Editorial  Office  door,  ventured  into  the  sanctum  of  saving. 
He  was  treated  to  a  skag  and  warmly  received.  Hear!  Hear! 

The  endless  hours  dissipated  behind  pounding  type- 
writers, the  thoroughly  laid  business  campaigns  boldly 
executed,  the  indomitable  refusal  to  worry  in  black  mo- 
ments, the  characteristic  thrift,  and  the  scrupulous  adminis- 
tration of  a  $2.6,000  venture  in  odd  hours  are  not  idle  eulogy.

THE  LOG 

HEARKEN  to  the  record  of  achievements  and  disap- 
pointments experienced  by  the  "dedicated-to-pro- 
gress"  staff  of  1938. 

Considering  first  the  feature  department,  led  by  George 
Long,  we  find  a  regularly  operated  schedule  of  informative 
and  humorous  features  together  with  illustrations.  The  "no 
soap"  article  was  abolished. 

Under  James  Ginn,  news  took  a  new  lease  on  life.  News 
of  Academy  activities  was  expanded.  A  column  of  con- 
temporary college  life  emerged  called  "Collegiate  Clip- 
pings." Midshipmen  were  given  a  peek  at  fleet  life  through 
"Letters  From  the  Fleet."  Every  week  a  leading  news 
article  on  a  timely  Naval  subject  appeared. 

Affairs  picked  up  in  the  Sports  department  as  Bruce 
Hayden  took  over.  Impartiality  in  game  reviews,  "Chips 
Off  the  Log" — the  sports  column,  and  much  pre-game  in- 
formation were  highlights  of  this  phase  of  the  Log. 

Cartooning  and  illustrating  throughout  the  magazine 
improved  perceptibly  during  the  year.  Of  particular  merit 
was  the  year's  series  of  excellent  covers.

THE  LOG 

Log  circulation  gained  by  about  four  hundred  subscrip- 
tions among  graduate  officers  by  virtue  of  efforts  extended 
by  Victor  Graff  and  his  assistant  circulation  manager,  John 
Bo  well. 

Volume  of  advertising  increased  mainly  because  of  the 
dynamic  characteristics  of  James  Lawrence,  assistant 
advertising  manager. 

Make-up  of  the  Log  became  more  careful.  Typographical 
style  was  experimented  with  and  improved  upon.  Office  rou- 
tine in  the  new  third  battalion  office  gained  stability  under 
the  administration  of  Kenneth  Brown. 

In  retrospect,  three  incidents  stand  out  to  distinguish  the 
Log  of  1938.  First  was  the  great  beauty  contest  to  pick  the 
all  Navy  O.  A.  O.  Second  was  the  Log  Confidential  Cake 
Baking  Contest  "for  femmes  only,"  which  contest  sur- 
prised all  hands  by  its  great  success  and  unexpected  news- 
paper publicity.  Last  to  be  remembered  is  Log's  burlesque 
of  Life,  the  issue  which  took  four  months  of  steady  prep- 
aration and  nearly  broke  the  budget  -when  it  finally  arrived. 

Editor  Arthur,  expressing  satisfaction  with  the  year's 
work,  gets  many  nods  of  agreement.

TRIDENT  SOCIETY 


W.  J.  Salmon,  President 


J.  W.  Frorath,  Editor 


C.  J.  Fleps,  Business  Manager 


THE  purpose  of  the  Trident  Society  since  it  was  organized  in  192.4  has  been  to  promote  and  foster 
literary  activity  in  the  Regiment,  to  add  to  a  too-small  contemporary  American  naval  literature, 
to  discover,  preserve,  and  disseminate  naval  literature  already  in  existence. 

In  attempting  to  fulfill  this  purpose,  the  Trident  Society  published  the  Trident  Magazine,  The  Navy 
Book  of  Songs,  and  Anchors  Aiveigh,  a  collection  of  Naval  Academy  and  Navy  verse.  Last  year  the  Society 
revived  the  custom  of  issuing  the  Navy  Calendar  and  the  practice  has  been  continued  this  year.  In  the 
Calendar  for  1938,  an  attempt  has  been  made  to  increase  the  space  available  for  notes  and  memoranda, 
omit  all  but  the  most  interesting  historic  events,  and,  with  an  eye  to  the  convenience  and  welfare  of 
the  plebes,  more  detailed  information  concerning  athletic  schedules  has  been  provided.  It  is  hoped 
that  the  1938  Navy  Calendar  will  be  received  with  favor  equal  to  that  of  the  1937  Calendar. 

This  year  the  Trident  Society  has  tried  to  revise  the  "Esquire"  characteristics  of  the  Trident  Maga- 
.  zine.  Fewer  full-page  color  plates  have  been  included,  a  more  readable  type  has  been  employed,  and 
the  staff  has  attempted  to  give  the  magazine  a  more  inviting  appearance. 

The  inexperienced  staff  of  the  Trident  Society  has  been  fortunate  this  year  in  having  Lieutenant 
Young  as  its  Officer  Representative.  He  has  aided  materially  with  his  valuable  advice  and  suggestions.

REEF  POINTS 


Conferees 


R.  D.  Weber,  Business  M.t,r. 


C.  R.  Dwyer,  Editor 


REEF  Points  is  the  annual  handbook  of  the  Naval  Academy  and  is  written  especially  for  the  in- 
k.  coming  freshman  class,  the  Plebes.  As  Reef  Points  gives  the  new  plebe  his  first  written  impression 
of  Naval  Academy  life  and  traditions  and  the  Navy  in  general,  it  is  an  important  element  in  his  early 
training.  The  principal  aim  of  the  staff  is  to  present  a  book  which  will  be  of  maximum  value  to  the 
plebes.  There  is,  however,  a  large  circulation  of  Reef  Points  among  upper  classes  at  the  Naval  Academy 
and  among  their  friends.  The  secondary  aim  of  the  staff  is  to  present  a  book  that  will  be  of  interest  to 
these  readers.  This  year  these  two  aims  were  achieved  by  adding  new  photographs  and  information  of 
the  naval  profession  to  the  handbook  inherited  from  the  year  before.  The  major  change  was  in  enlarg- 
ing and  modernizing  the  Navy  section,  which  was  fresh  enough  to  be  interesting  as  well  as  informative. 
The  most  drastic  change  was  the  replacement  of  the  legendary  black  bible  fly-leaf  -with  an  attractive 
light  blue  coated  paper.  This  same  paper  was  later  adopted  for  inserts  between  the  various  sections  of 
the  book  to  give  a  more  distinct  break  between  the  sections.  The  boat  theme  used  as  illustrations  on 
these  pages  represented  in  chronological  order  the  various  small  boats  with  which  a  midshipman 
comes  in  contact  during  his  years  at  the  Naval  Academy.  To  Carl  Dwyer  and  a  staff  of  capable 
assistants,  the  upper  classes  join  the  plebes  in  extending  a  hearty     "Well  done."

THE  NA  TEN 


NO  other  activity  at  the  Naval  Academy  more 
closely  resembles  the  glorious  and  relaxed 
sensations  of  the  true  college  life  than  does  the 
Naval  Academy  Ten.  Yet,  there  is  a  bit  of  untruth- 
fulness in  this  title,  for  the  organization  has  long 
exceeded  the  modest  limit  of  ten.  Scarcely  a  hop 
presided  over  by  the  Ten  will  find  their  number 
less  than  eighteen  or  twenty. 

The  band  represents  the  pick  of  the  Regiment  in 
musical  talent,  and  competition  for  key  positions 
is  keen.  Rhythm  is  paramount  in  all  interpretations, 
whether  sweet  or  hot,  and  woe  betide  the  unlucky 
fellow  who  "cuts  a  corny  lick,"  for  "corn"  is  a 
derided  bugaboo  to  all  the  gang. 

Good  times  are  had  by  all  at  the  well  known 


J.  A.  Marks,  Leader 


"Friday-night  Smokers"  in  which 
the  Ten  gives  the  Regiment  its 
weekly  "swing."  Often  the  very 
next  evening  will  find  the  Ten  over 
in  Dahlgren  Hall  providing  the 
romantic  background  of  harmony 
for  the  regimental  hop.  Frequent- 
ly, during  the  intermissions,  the 
well  known  swing  quintet  will  be 
seen  grouped  closely  around  the 
"mike"  knocking  out  some  old 
dependables,  such  as  "Sweet  Sue."

THE  ORCHESTRA

rehearsal,  but  the  intimate  contact 
with  good  music  was  a  satisfaction 
to  all  the  members.  Not  all  mem- 
bers are  concert  stage  artists,  nor 
do  they  enjoy  the  services  of  a 
Toscanini,  but  the  musical  output 
is  surprisingly  musical.  It  has 
earned  favorable  criticism.  The 
members  have  gained  pleasure,  and 
perhaps  have  passed  some  pleasure 
on  to  their  audience.  That  is 
success ! 


PERHAPS  those  who  live  within  earshot  of 
"Mem"  Hall  or  the  band-room  have  not  ap- 
preciated the  orchestra  in  its  frequent  evening  re- 
hearsals. Perhaps  they  became  prejudiced  against 
the  organization,  but  if  they  attended  the  Musical 
Clubs'  Show,  and  the  orchestra  concert,  their 
prejudice  must  have  become  an  approving  one. 

The  purpose  of  the  orchestra  is  primarily  to  bring 
pleasure  to  its  members.  The  rehearsals  are  frequent 
and  require  much  time  and  effort,  but  the  fun  de- 
rived by  the  members  is  certainly  ample  return. 
The  rare  public  appearances  mould  the  work  toward 
a  definite  objective,  and  give  the  public  an  oppor- 
tunity to  appreciate  the  work  done.  Pinafore  and  the 
June  Week  concert  caused  many  weary  hours  of

GLEE  CLUB 


MOST  of  the  strange  sounds  that  emanate  from 
the   basement   of  the   First   Battalion   start 
with  the  Glee  Club.  Twice  a  week  a  group  of  the 
'boys  meet  to  mix  the  strains  of  The  Blue  Danube 
with  those  of  more  modern  tunes.  Most  choruses 
are  organized  for  those  with  good  voices  and  a 
desire  to  keep  in  training,  but  our  policy  is  to 
afford  those  who  like  to  sing  an  opportunity  to 
satisfy  their  yearning.  We  live  in  hopes  that  the 
"have-nots"  will  be  drowned  out  by  the  "haves" 
when  public  appearances  are  made.  So  generous  a 
policy   produced   a   bang-up  gang   of  sailors   and 
lasses  for  Pinafore.   Bouquets  to  Jack  Bogley  and 
Professor  Crosley.  Activities  were  not  limited  to 
one   production.    Those   who   were   privileged    to 
attend  the  After  Dinner  Speaking 
in  honor  of  Admiral  Sellers  will, 
no  doubt,  never  forget  the  bar- 
room quartet  that  brought  down 
the  leaves  from  the  bulkheads  of 
the  dining  room.  "For  it's  always 
fair  weather  when  good  fellows 
get  together,"   and  under  such  a 
flag  the  Glee  Club  will  afford  the 
midshipman  one  of  the  informal 
activities   of  the  Academy,    into 
which   he   is  welcomed  without 
qualifications.  If   in    search    of   a 
good  time,   this   is   the  place   to 
find  it.

MANDOLIN  CLUB 


W.  A.  Payne,  Leader 


AT  this  year's  Musical  Show  an  entirely  rejuven- 
ii  ated  and  novel  Mandolin  Club  was  presented 
to  the  Regiment.  Although  the  "singing  strings" 
still  form  the  basis  of  the  organization,  several  new 
and  different  instruments  made  their  appearance, 
adding  a  new  attraction  to  the  Club's  performance. 
With  the  largest  membership  in  eighteen  years,  the 
Mandolin  Club  has  acquired  versatility.  Their  music 
may  vary  from  the  most  rhythmic  hit  of  "Tin  Pan 
Alley"    to   the   most  sublime  melody  of  Strauss. 
On  a  practice  evening  one  may  hear  the  whisper- 
ing strains  of  the  steel  guitars  intermingled  with 
the  soft,  measured  strummings  of  the  ukeleles.  It 
may  be  a  rehearsal  for  a  show,  or  it  may  be  one  of 
the  Club's  informal  gatherings  or  "sessions."  Here 
is  found  the  most  timid  beginner 
playing    enthusiastically   with    a 
near-expert.  The  experienced  mem- 
ber is  as  willing  to  help  as  the 
recruit  is  eager  to  learn.  The  pleas- 
ure derived  from  playing,  the  love 
of  music,  the  instructive  practice 
obtained,  or  the  desire  for  relaxa- 
tion may  influence  a  midshipman 
to  join  the  Club.  Once  he  is  a  mem- 
ber, he  very  rarely  drops  out,  for 
there    is    a    great    satisfaction    in 
being  a  part  of  one  of  the  most 
congenial    organizations    in    the 
Regiment.

CHOIR 


SOME  eighty  yodelers  comprise  the  choir.  They  are  the 
picked  voices  of  all  the  classes  in  the  Regiment,  chosen 
from  the  plebe  choir  which  Professor  Crosley  organizes 
every  summer.  Each  Sunday  morning  they  furnish  the  music 
for  the  chapel  service.  Despite  complaints  about  the  sleepy 
Sunday  morning  countenances  of  some  of  its  members,  the 
choir  is  generally  held  in  good  repute.  Occasionally  they 
render  an  anthem  really  well — especially  when  some  de- 
termined group  has  made  a  suicide  pact  to  attack  in  tempo. 
Rehearsals  are  held  in  place  of  a  Thursday  or  Saturday  drill 
and'  for  half  an  hour  before  the  service  each  Sunday.  All 
hands  can  be  sure  that  they  will  be  kindly  and  generously

BOAT  CLUB 

IT  is  the  firm  belief  of  the  members  of  the  Boat  Club  that 
their  organization  is  THE  BEST.  The  club  provides  a 
means  of  actively  expressing  professional  desires  and  in- 
terests, including  cruising,  racing,  and  boat-building.  Many 
a  pleasant  week-end  has  been  spent  sailing  up  and  down  the 
Bay,  exploring  .small  ports  and  harbors,  and  trying  a  little 
practical  navigation,  which  has  sometimes  landed  the 
conscious  ones  on  a  sandbar.  For  those  more  inclined  to- 
ward racing,  the  club  has  a  number  of  star  and  other 
small  boats.  Racing  has  gained  rapidly  in  importance  with 
the  advent  of  the  Boat  Club,  and  competition  with  col- 
leges and  universities  has  been  undertaken.

The  Vamarie,  famous  ocean  racer 
given  to  the  Academy  two  years 
ago,  provides  another  source  of 
interest  to  club  members,  espec- 
ially to  those  who  would  like  to 
enter  an  off-shore  race.  Even  in  the 
Bay  under  a  fresh  breeze  she  pro- 
vides a  thrill  never  experienced 
ashore.  With  these  boats  and  the 
facilities  for  building  boats  at  its 
disposal  the  Boat  Club  has  made 
great  strides.

THE  MUSICAL  CLUBS 


Prof.  J.  W.  Crosley,  Coach 

H.M.S.  Pinafore,  the  rollicking,  nautical  Gilbert  and  Sullivan 
light  opera,  interspersed  with  the  music  of  an  exceptionally  line 
Mandolin  Club  and  a  skillful  NA-Ten,  comprised  the  production 
of  the  Combined  Musical  Clubs  for  1938.  Pinafore  was  chosen 
after  an  original  operetta  from  midshipman  pens  failed  to  meet 
approval.  The  midshipman  brain-child  was  the  tale  of  a  co- 
educational Naval  Academy.  Perhaps  reasons  for  disapproval  are 
evident.  Bogley's  Glee  Club  started  intensive  work  under  Pro- 
fessor Crosley's  energetic  and  skilled  tutelage  as  earlv  as  February. 
Members  were  ably  moulded  into  sturdy  sailors  and  lovelv  lasses. 
Isham's  orchestra  was  well  trained  with  assistance  from  Lieu- 
tenant Sima,  so  that  oddities  of  soloists  could  actually  be  followed.

Stirring  strains  of  chorus  and  orchestra  provided  colorful  back- 
ground for  the  thrilling  parade  of  much-loved  Gilbert  and  Sulli- 
van characters.  Audiences  were  allowed  a  glimpse  of  the  same 
proud  spirit  written  into  the  Victorian  hero,  Ralph,  by  the  acting 
of  John  Stevens.  Lovely,  true-hearted  Josephine  was  as  beloved 
as  ever  when  depicted  by  John  Reigart.  Eric  Allen's  interpretation 
of  virile  Captain  Corcoran  caused  many  feminine  hearts  to  flutter. 
Coy  little  Buttercup  lived  again  in  the  person  of  William  Graw- 
burg.  Kenneth  Brown  was  proper,  grim,  and  proud  as  Sir  Joseph 
while  Russell  Duncan  displayed  an  absolutely  hateful  Dick  Dead- 
eye.  Lieutenant  Christie  and  Professor  Crosley,  the  forces  behind 
it  all,  rate  roses.

THE  MASQUERADERS 


C.  V.  Gordon,  President 

THIS  year's  show,  a  sparkling  mystery-comedy,  demonstrated 
to  the  world  that  gunland's  loss  was  Navy's  gain.  The  cast 
of  twelve  contained  nine  of  the  toughest  mugs  that  "ever  pulled 
a  rod  on  the  Governor  at  Albany."  The  hero,  of  course,  had  to  be 
a  fine,  clean-cut  fellow — the  heroine  a  lovely  little  thing,  all 
covered  with  sweetness  and  light.  But  the  tough  guys  was  really 
tough — as  sinister  a  group  of  thugs  as  ever  gathered  together  to 
talk  over  ways  and  means  of  doing  away  with  gendarmes. 

The  most  amazing  thing  about  the  show  was  the  versatility 
displayed  by  the  lads  in  their  thuggery.  There  were  as  many 
different  types  of  criminals  as  there  were  actors — and  there  was

an  actor  in  every  part.  Make  no  mistake  about  that — this  show 
contained  the  best  dramatic  talent  that  had  ever  been  unearthed 
during  our  four  years  at  the  Academy.  The  play  couldn't  have 
been  cast  any  better  if  it  had  been  produced  at  Sing  Sing. 

The  combination  of  an  excellent  play,  a  talented  cast,  the  finest 
costuming,  make-up,  and  scenery  that  money  could  buy,  and  the 
skilled  direction  of  Professor  Royal  S.  Pease,  guaranteed  a  suc- 
cessful show  from  the  very  beginning.  Under  his  guidance,  these 
elements  are  blended  into  a  well-rounded  production  which 
provided  some  of  the  best  entertainment  every  enjoyed  by  the 
Regiment.  Best  line,  "Bulls  is  like  dat — da  stinkers!"

HOP  COMMITTEE 


THOSE  sword  belts  that  you  see  weaving  and  dipping 
at  the  hops  do  not  indicate  simply  a  bunch  of  super- 
snakes,  but  distinguish  a  group  of  able  designers  and  hard 
workers.  Charged  with  putting  over  Naval  Academy  hops 
is  one  thing,  but  making  them  human  is  something  else. 
This  year  the  Hop  Committee  has  had  this  as  its  aim.  In 
doing  this,  brains  have  been  taxed,  grease  marks  have  hit 
new  lows,  and  class  funds  have  been  wiped  out  by  the  Hop 
Committee,  but  some  success  has  been  attained.  Building 
and  Grounds  has  groaned  and  the  Executive  Department 
raised  its  eyebrows  more  than  once  at  the  Committee's 
requests.  The  "Blue  and  White"  Christmas  Hop,  featuring

Ring  Dance  Committee 

THE  fellows  who  made  possible  the  biggest  of  big  nights 
in  the  history  of  '38  are  the  members  of  the  Ring  Dance 
Committee.  They  spent  their  time  and  energy  unstintingly 
and  enjoyably.  Actual  entertainment  was  provided  Dalton 
and  Taft  in  their  trip  to  New  York  to  transact  important 
business.  They  dashed  across  New  York  six  times  before 
establishing  successful  contact  with  Guy  Lombaro — so  suc- 
cessful, when  established,  that  his  price  was  a  mere  one 
thousand  dollars  instead  of  the  original  two  thousand.  They 
then  shocked  florists  along  Fifth  Avenue  by  demanding  bids 
on  460  orchids.  These  business  men  gave  money's  worth  to 
within  $1.90  of  their  fund  which  exceeded  three  thousand 


G.  F.  Dalton,  Chairman

dollars.  The  whole  committee  en- 
joyed the  baffled  expressions  on 
the  faces  of  officers  when  it  was 
proposed  that  the  C  in  C's  wife 
receive.  That  Mrs.  Roosevelt  did 
receive,  was  the  crowning  tri- 
umph. The  traffic  problem  through 
the  Ring,  which  by  mathematics 
gave  each  couple  only  a  Z4  second 
kiss,  was  somehow  solved.  It  was 
a  charming  setting  for  a  glorious 
time.

Ring  Committee 

IN  the  fall  of  1936,  the  minds  of  the  class  of  1938  turned 
as  one  to  their  rings.  Committee  members  were  elected 
at  company  meetings,  notable  in  that  an  average  of  ten  men 
at  each  were  heard  to  remark,  "Everybody  vote  for  Gish.  I 
gotta  hear  Hal  Kemp."  The  newly-elected  committee 
members  soon  assembled  to  set  about  their  task.  The  class 
policy  was  evolved  and  a  class  meeting  was  called  to 
approve  it.  Out  of  450  stalwarts,  almost  175  attended,  con- 
sisting principally  of  the  lame,  the  halt,  and  the  blind, 
particularly  the  blind.  Designs  were  considered  and  voted 
upon  by  the  class;  and,  as  is  always  the  case,  one  who  had 
cast  his  ballot  for  the  winning  design  was  not  to  be  found. 


Standing:  Dierman,  McNitt,  Spears,  Post,  Ela.  Seated:  Frorath,  Tully,  Crommelin,  Bowers,  Boorman,  Ready,  Emrich 


Undaunted,  however,  the  com- 
mittee asked  for  bids,  and  herein 
proved  itself  a  truly  leading  body 
by  demanding  hand-carved  sam- 
ples, one  of  which  they  selected 
themselves.  Affairs  ran  smooth- 
ly, even  to  the  operation  of  the  so 
essential  opposition  party  (atten- 
tion first  batt.).  Finally,  in  May, 
the  long  awaited  ring  arrived — a 
product  satisfactory  to  all.

Reception  Committee 

THE  opportunities  to  meet  men  of  our  age  in  civilian 
life  are  limited.  The  Reception  Committee  offers  to  its 
members  the  chance  to  maintain  this  contact.  Throughout 
the  year  the  midshipmen  who  are  "excused  from  drills  and 
formations"  over  the  week-end  are  in  complete  charge  of 
the  visiting  athletic  teams.  The  objectives  of  the  Reception 
Committee  are  "the  reception,  care,  and  entertainment"  of 
our  visitors.  In  return,  many  advantages  of  meeting  students 
from  colleges  in  the  North,  South,  East,  and  Mid-West  are 
the  rewards  of  the  committee.  The  officers  of  this  organiza- 
tion are  the  first  class  chairmen  from  each  battalion.  The 
two  senior  classes  of  the  regiment  provide  the  members  to

theindividual  committees  assigned 
to  each  visiting  team.  It  requires 
finesse  to  impress  strangers  proper- 
ly and  to  acquaint  them  with  the 
Naval  Academy.  They  must  be 
shown  the  phase  of  our  life  most 
interesting  to  them.  When  a  visit- 
ing athletic  team  leaves  with 
pleasant  memories  of  Annapolis, 
the  Reception  Committee  takes  a 
bow.

Foreign  Languages  Club 


P.  A.  Beshany,  President

Officer  Representative 


O.  A.  Wesche,  Vice-President 


DECEMBER  the  first,  1937,  marked  the  adoption  of  a  new  organization  into  our  extra-curricular 
activities.  An  enthusiastic  group  of  forty  midshipmen,  led  by  Phil  Beshany,  put  the  Foreign 
Language  Club  underway  so  that  today  this  organization  shares  the  spotlight  with  the  leading  clubs. 
Finished  linguists  are  not  the  only  ones  eligible,  for  it  is  an  all-hands  rate.  The  aim  of  the  club  is  to 
stimulate  interest  in  the  foreign  languages  and  thus  tend  towards  greater  fluency  among  the  midship- 
men. On  the  practice  cruise  and  out  in  the  service  there  will  be  innumerable  occasions  when  proficiency 
in  a  particular  language  will  be  a  great  help.  The  Club  has  a  fine  reading  room  well  supplied  with 
current  periodicals  and  books.  This  feature  offers  a  special  opportunity  to  upper-classmen  who  plan 
to  take  the  interpreter's  examination.  The  club  meetings  which  are  held  weekly  are  conducted  entirely 
in  one  of  the  foreign  languages.  Informal  meetings  during  the  week  supplement  these  meetings  and 
thereby  provide  more  practice  in  conversing.  But  the  best  conversational  practice  is  provided  by  the 
language  tables  organized  in  the  various  battalions.  It's  a  case  of  practice  while  you  eat !  Stirring  foreign 
tunes  are  sung  as  dinner  music.  The  future  of  the  Club  promises  to  develop  some  interesting  projects 
such  as  the  production  of  foreign  plays;  programs  including  outside  speakers;  and  foreign  short  movies.

"Mend your  speech  a  little, 
Lest  it  mar  your  fortunes." 

— Shakespeare 

SPEAKING  plays  an  important  part  in  the  leadership  of  men.  To  tell  a  man  what  to  do,  one  must 
1  know  not  only  what  to  tell  him,  but  also  how  to  tell  him.  Indoctrination,  training,  and  discipline 
are  all  dependent  upon  effective  speech.  And  naval  officers  are  called  upon  every  day  to  speak  in  one 
guise  or  another.  The  purpose  of  the  Quarterdeck  Society  is  to  help  the  midshipman  to  improve 
himself  in  this  phase  of  his  future  duty. 

In  pursuing  this  function,  the  Quarterdeck  Society  has  conducted  this  year  an  inter-battalion 
debating  contest,  with  a  silver  trophy  presented  to  the  winning  battalion.  Another  big  event  is  the 
annual  public  speaking  contest,  open  to  all  midshipmen.  During  the  year  many  informal  discussions 
were  enjoyed  by  the  members;  and  anyone  can  become  a  member  by  attending  the  weekly  meetings  in 
Memorial  Hall. 

For  their  advice  and  assistance,  thanks  are  due  Commander  W.  S.  DeLany,  Lieutenant  W.  J.  Gal- 
braith,  officer  representative,  and  Associate  Professor  W.  A.  Darden,  representative  of  the  Department 
of  English,  History,  and  Government.

RADIO  CLUB 

SOME  people  like  us;  some  don't.  We  even  get  thanked 
once  in  a  while  for  saying  which  tubes  need  replacing, 
or  what's  wrong  with  the  GE.  And  it's  convenient  some- 
times to  send  a  radiogram  to  the  folks  or  the  girl  when  the 
stamps  get  low  or  the  boning  hard.  Of  course,  when  the 
final  amplifier  gets  a  shade  out  of  neutralization  or  the 
mercury  vapors  do  a  little  arcing,  the  lads  in  the  first  batt. 
don't  hesitate  to,  tell  us  about  the  horrible  noises  that  are 
ruining  their  programs.  But  the  first  class  bring  their  own 
skags  when  they  come  to  see  us  before  Juice  Class.  We  get  a 
big  kick  ourselves  when  that  fellow  in  Sweden  tells  us  our 
signals  are  clear,  or  when  we  can  give  an  "OK"  on  a  fast

us  the  Radio  Club  is  a  means  of 
pursuing  a  technical  hobby.  To 
some  of  us  it  offers  a  schedule  of 
instruction  in  a  new  and  fascinat- 
ing field.  But  to  all  of  us  it  repre- 
sents professional  training  with  a 
close  and  direct  application  to  our

MOVIE  GANG 

THE  "movie  gang"  was  formed  in  1935  with  two  ob- 
jectives: First,  to  supply  the  necessary  technical  knowl- 
edge in  order  that  the  Regiment  might  enjoy  and  be  enter- 
tained by  weekly  news  reels  and  short  subjects  presented  in 
what  the  movie  gang  is  pleased  to  call  "movie-house  style," 
and  second,  to  keep  the  radio-phonograph  in  Recreation 
Hall  supplied  with  the  newest  recordings  and  functioning 
properly.  In  the  past  three  years  these  have  continued  to  be 
the  primary  functions.  Other  objectives,  however,  have 
been  crystallized. 

The  gang  is  composed  of  men  who  meet  to  discuss  and 
exchange  views  and  tips  which  may  be  helpful  in  improving

their  photographic   technique   in 
the  fields  of  movies  and  stills. 

The  list  of  activities  is  further 
rounded  off  with  the  movie  gang 
assisting  at  N.  A.  C.  A.  when  there 
are  slides  or  movies,  taking  over 
when  the  Mahan  Hall  projection 
booth  is  out  of  kilter,  and  supply- 
ing the  Sunday  afternoon  informals 
with  the  latest  hit  tunes  on  the 
new  phonograph  in  Recreation 
Hall.

PIONEER  OF  THE  AIR 


FOUNDED  IN  1919,  the  Radio  Corpora- 
tion of  America  has  completed  18  years 
of  pioneering  effort  to  develop  and  improve 
the  uses  of  radio. 

Starting  "from  scratch,"  RCA  has  created 
a  world-wide  communications  system  with 
direct  circuits  between  the  United  States  and 
42  foreign  countries,  and  with  ships  at  sea.  It 
has  created  a  nation-wide  broadcasting  sys- 
tem of  endless  cultural  possibilities,  now 
rapidly  expanding  its  services  by  short-wave 
to  all  the  world.  It  has  created  essential  instru- 
ments for  the  radio  transmission  and  recep- 
tion of  sound,  of  code  messages,  and  of  fac- 
simile reproductions,  and  for  the  recording 
and  reproduction  of  sound  on  records  and  on 


motion  picture  film.  It  has  created  countless 
radio  devicesindispensable  to  modern  science, 
industry,  medicine,  telephony,  and  public 
safety.  It  has  created  the  basis  for  a  system 
of  electronic  television,  forecasting  the  day 
when  radio  sight,  added  to  sound,  will  per- 
form a  useful  public  service. 

Today  the  Radio  Corporation  of  America 
is  owned  by  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  million 
stockholders  in  48  states.  No  one  person  owns 
as  much  as  V2  of  1  %  of  its  stock.  Achievements 
of  the  past  18  years  are  a  tribute  to  the  Ameri- 
can tradition  of  service  in  the  public  interest 
through  private  initiative  and  ownership. 

RCA  presents  the     Magic  Key"  every  Sunday, 
2  to  3  P.M.,  E.S.  T.,  on  NBC  Blue  Network.

ROYAL  NAVAL  COLLEGE,  DARTMOUTH,  ENGLAND 


Gieves  Ltd. 


GRADUATION 

In  1905  the  Royal  Naval  College  was  transferred  from  the  Isle  of  Wight  to 
Dartmouth,  depicted  above,  and  the  buildings  are  ranged  nearly  abreast  of  the 
spot  where  for  more  than  4  decades  the  towering  chequer-sided  Britannia  lay. 

We  have  pride  in  telling  you  that  of  the  Cadets  entering  this  College  to  begin 
their  career  in  the  Royal  Navy,  we  have  since  its  foundation  outfitted  over 
98%  of  the  entries. 

We  are  also  privileged  to  number  amongst  our  customers  upwards  of  4,000 
officers  in  the  United   States   Navy. 

The  superfine  cloths  (all  wool  dyed),  serges  and  whipcord  made  by  us,  and  upon 
which  our  reputation  has  been  built,  cannot  be  obtained  elsewhere  in  the 
world.  The  cloth  which  we  supply  for  uniform,  frock  and  evening  dress  can  be 
guaranteed,  under  normal  conditions,  to  last  the  Service  career  of  any  officer. 

Economy  will  best  be  served  if  you  will  obtain  your  cloths  for  graduation 
from  the  firm  with  150  years'  continuous  experience.

PHOTOGRAPHING    NATIONAL    NOTABLES 

for 
THIRTY-THREE    YEARS 


In  growing  from  a  studio  of  Four  employees  in 
1905  to  an  Institution  of  over  One  Hundred 
in  1938  we  have  gained  considerable  prestige 
in  the  field  of  portrait  photography.  Because 
of  photographing  so  many  famous  people  dur- 
ing these  thirty-three  years  we  are  now  known 
as    "Photographers    of   National   Notables." 


Our  Studio  is  one  of  the  largest  and  best 
equipped  in  the  country.  We  produce  anything 
from  Lucky  Bag  cruise  pictures  to  life  size  hand 
painted  oil  portraits.  Our  file  of  over  two 
million  negatives  contains  photographs  of  al- 
most every  U.  S.  Naval  Officer  and  many  other 
prominent   people  from  all   over  the  world.

THE     FAIRWAY 


THE    BARGE 


EVERY  navy  man  has  a  soft  spot  in  his  heart  for  Stetson 
shoes  because  they  are  part  and  parcel  of  navy  life.  And 
because  they  can  be  worn,  from  the  very  start,  without  the 
usual  "new  shoe"  discomfort!  When  you're  looking  for  "off 
duty"  footwear,  remember  that  in  any  Stetson  model,  no  mat- 
ter how  smartly  styled,  you'll  always  find  that  typical  Stetson 
flexibility  and  faithfulness  of  fit  that  banish  foot  aches  and  fa- 
tigue. "Stetson  Walks  the  First  Ten  Miles."  Above  "Fairway,"  a 
navy  favorite,  Blucher  style  of  Imported  Scotch  Grain.  Below, 
"Barge' — a  shoregoing  "knockabout"  shoe  with  a  seagoing 
name.  Sand  colored  Bucko,  with  Bucko  thong  lace  and  squared 
Tyrolean  toe.

assures  longer  service.  The  freedom  from

THE  FLEET'S  MIGHTIEST 


Time  and  again,  the  job  of  building  propelling 
equipment  for  the  Navy's  battleships  has  been 
awarded  to  Westinghouse  .  .  .  because  there 
the  Navy  finds  unusual  skill  and  the  requisite 
"know-how"  for  this  important  responsibility. 
Westinghouse  has  supplied  to  the  Navy  alone, 
for  ships  of  all  classes,  over  2  million  horsepower 
of  highly  successful  geared  turbine  drives.  The 
latest  battleships  to  have  these  drives  were  the 
New  Mexico,  Idaho,  and   Mississippi.   Ships 


of  the  Omaha  and  New  Orleans  classes  are 
among  the  heavily-powered  modern  cruisers  to 
have  them  also. 

In  addition,  Westinghouse  has  supplied  an 
inestimable  quantity  of  auxiliary  steam  and 
electrical    apparatus    for   vessels    of   all    types. 

The  special  steam  research  and  engineering 
development  that  goes  on  continually  at  West- 
inghouse maintains  assurance  to  the  Navy  of 
equipment  to  fit  all  future  needs.

TRY  THIS  REMARKABLE 
NAVAL  BINOCULAR 

Naval  officers  know  the  usefulness  of  a 
really  fine  Binocular.  Designed  especially  to 
their  needs  is  the  Bausch  8C  Lomb  7  power, 
50  mm  model  shown  above.  Its  tremendous 
light  gathering  power  is  unequalled  in  any  other 
glass  made.  Also  of  interest  to  officers  are  the 
remarkable  7  power,  35  mm  and  6  power,  30 
mm  glasses.  All  are  famous  for  their  width  of 
field,  brilliance  of  image,  dust-tight  and  water- 
proof construction,  and  their  rugged  sturdiness. 
Indicative  of  the  high  regard  in  which  these 
instruments  are  held  is  the  fact  that  every  U.  S. 
ship  is  equipped  almost  exclusively  with  them.

The  Navy's  Eyes  Are  On  You 


Today  the  Navy  watches  and  awaits  as  you 
pass  through  the  gate  for  the  last  time.  These 
few  years  have  been  long  enough  for  you  to 
have  learned  about  the  guiding  Spirit  of  the 
Navy — Carry  it  along — your  strongest  armour 
it  ever  will  be,  forged  well  among  those  who 
will  face   the  future  with  you.  And  they  of 
years    gone    by   who    have  learned   the  same 
lessons  watch  and  wait  for  you  today. 

On  land,  on  sea  and  in  the  air  they  wait  for 
they  know  you  bring  to  them  new  vigor,  new 
ideals,  new  strength.  For  they  know  and  so 
will  you  that  the  Navy  is  not  alone  of  steel  and 
steam  but  of  valour  welded  with  wisdom;  of 
courage,  fidelity  and  of  honor.  All  these  have 
you  gained,  all  these  may  you  keep  with  you 
forever,  as  forever  The  Navy's  Eyes  Are  On  You.
